Hold me and tell me it's gonna be ok
Take me home
Take me home out of the way.
To my little corner by Ken's laundry and go.
Don't you remember?
Don't you remember, Joe?
Past the bridge of salt water and moonshine.
Leave me on the corner of one-twenty-nine. A nickel's all I got
For a palace of my own
Put my faith in my blood
Hard working hands and hard core.
Push for a dollar or two more
From anybody but Joe
Runnin' away closer to the life of a who*e Hold me and tell me it's gonna be ok
Take me home
Take me home out of the way.
To my little corner by Ken's laundry and go.
Don't you remember?
Don't you remember, Joe?
Past the bridge of salt water and moonshine.
Leave me on the corner of one-twenty-nine. I crawl beggin at your door
On my hands and knees
Covered in trash, spit and slime.
No more tricks up my sleeve.
Nothin left to do but stand on the corner and dance a soft shoe.
Cost my dreams
Throw them down the lane, Penny dear!
