What A Way To Go
i met a man out on a bridge pier
he said he's gonna jump to save his soul
i said what's the world done to make you mad man
he said sit down son now here's the dope
i can't find work 'cause i'm a blind man
i can't see but sometimes i can see the light
now is my life a labor of love or is my life a love of labor
i still got a hollow feeling in my life
what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go
i met this girl her name escapes me
said son i'd love you to be my man
she wrote her name out on a dollar
i spent that dollar on a shot of jim
spent it on a shot of jim
i talked him down and then i walked off
i turned around and he was gone himself
a mile down the road it came upon me
it was me i talked off that ledge
it was me i talked off that ledge
it was me i talked off that ledge
what a way to go
what a way to go
what a way to go
We recommend: Lean On Me
Then you loosened your hold on me, took away what I thought was mine,
Now you've got your wings, girl, and you can fly like a dove,
When I'm lying awake in bed at night, honey, it's you I'm thinkin' of
No conversation, .... no alibis,
No explanation, just a glimpse of your far away eyes,
Now you've got your freedom, have fun while you can,
Cause one day you're gonna to find yourself in the arms of another man
Chorus:
Goodbye to love, goodbye to pain,
Goodbye promises that get broken time and time again
