Got to be a Better Way Home — текст песни (Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes)

(S. Van Zandt)

Baby just believe me don`t try to read me
I`ve got to catch the 5:05
I`ve got a ragged hungry band full of stone survivors
We`re out here tryin` to keep it alive

No more favors fuckin` strangers say I owe
Don`t care about your problems baby all I want to know
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?

I work hard enough
I`m tired of smiling at liars
I never said I`d try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home

I do it all in an hour
Could you talk a little louder
I don`t open my eyes until midnight
They`re screamin` to please me, got to make it look easy
`Cause I`m fighting for my life in the spotlight

I`m dancin` in my corner but the bell won`t ring
I`ve got no time to argue, baby, but tell me one thing
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?

I work hard enough
Tired of smiling at liars
I never said I`d try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home

I hear the motor revvin` baby, I`ve got to go
But just before I leave there`s one thing I`ve got to know
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?

I work hard enough
Tired of smiling at liars
I never said I`d try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home

Comin` home, baby
Comin` home, baby
Comin` home, baby
Comin` home, baby
