Letra de Back To The Wall

[Verso 1]
Sometimes in the evenings
I start to get that feeling
Like I'm empty inside
I know I'm doing good now
But tonight I'm headed down-town
Down by the riverside
I sit underneath the free-way
With an old friend from the old days
And a bottle of wine
Well he used to call me "Big Time"
And he knew someday that I'd shine
Said, he'd seen all the signs

[Coro]
He said, "Keep yourself to yourself
Keep your bedroll dry
And boy you never can tell
What the shadows hide
Keep Ene-eve on the ground
Pick up whatever you find
Because you've got no place to fall
When your back's to the wall"

[Verso 2]
He's getting old and it's showing
When I asked him how it's going
He said "I've seen better I guess
I've been rained on, I've been frozen
But this here's the life I've chosen
If it just wasn't for the loneliness"
Now this river suits me to a T
But if you're trying to raise a family
It ain't no place to be
There's a kid down by the dump there
Ought to be in grade school somewhere
Now he hangs out with me and I told him

[Coro]

[Verso 3]
Well we finished off the bottle and I told him
"Joe I think I ought to be headed uptown"
Well it was late, and I'd been drinking
Driving home, I got to thinking
About what's been going down
Because they're nervous down on Wall Street
But they're trying to keep it upbeat
Or maybe they just don't care
But down at the river eyes are burning
Cause they feel the tables turning
So if you wind up down there

[Coro]
