The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I'd run into a friend of mine
Ended up that he was just a stranger
I said, "Hello", as he pa**ed me by
But then he turned and put a gun to my head
He said, "My friend, I'm gonna rob you blind"
I said, "You must be down on your luck
I'm out of money and I'm all out of time"
He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees
My spirit left and then my body went cold
I'm lookin' down upon the lights of the city
I feel alive but I'm dead and gone
Ain't no more walkin' down the side of the road
Ain't no more sleepin' on the edge of a frown
Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know
'Cause there ain't nobody near me, nobody's around
Hallelujah, I'm comin' home
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, somethin' is wrong
Hallelujah
So tell me now if your singin' can bring me
Another day with my feet on the ground
I miss livin' and livin' misses me
I miss it so much that I'm holdin' me down
For all the things that I never could change
For all the reasons that I never understood why
I feel alone, baby, I'm dead and gone, baby
There's somethin' wrong 'cause you know I still feel alive
My train is rollin' down the line and I'm waitin'
'Til it bring me to dream of holdin' you up in my eyes
Oh, feel my love, honey, from up above, honey
Oh, don't give up on me 'cause I'm comin' down
I'm not a one nighter, I ain't a flat liner
I've never came between the harmonies you're singin' loud
Hallelujah, I'm comin' home
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, somethin's wrong
Hallelujah, it's just a song
The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I'd run into a friend of mine
