I Could´a Been A Contender
(album: Sink Or Swim)
I´m broke and I´m hungry, I´m hard up and I´m lonely
I been dancing on this killing floor for years
And of the few things I am certain
I´m the captain of my burden
I´m sorry doll, I could never stop the rain
Once you said I was your hero, you would dance with me on a dime
We could spin this world right right right round,
And catch back up on the flip side
I was gonna get this real big engine,
I was gonna get them Broadway Stars
You were gonna be my Judy Garland,
We were gonna share your Tin Man heart
There´s a dirty wind blowing, there´s a storm front coming
There´s an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier hold fast now
It´s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
We used to drive all night, all over town
We go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around
and I always sang them blues to you
There´s a dirty wind blowing, there´s a storm front coming in
There´s an S.O.S. on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier hold fast now
It´s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
On heart attacks and broken dreams
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
