Barefoot Truth - Broken Road lyrics

Born again on a island of sale He lived there six months too long Only ten out of jail He looked at me his eyes were haggard and pale His skin was tarnished and torn just like a rusted old nail Well some people pa** through this world with no pain But Johnny mingled in its company again and again He said he wanted to see paradise and travel so far All he'd seen of it was standing hind' those ugly prison bars So many people they come good people they come, from a broken road So many good people they come, from a broken road So many good people they come good people they come, they come and they go Johnny hailed from the city of thieves He'd cut his teeth down backwards alleys since 1973 He said he'd had trouble run that was easy to see He traveled East to West didn't miss a single penitentiary From the Bronx over to Queen's down in South Jersey I-95 to West Virginia well they caught up in Cincinnati Crossed the Mason Dixon border Kansas City, Oklahoma The Devil on the shoulder of a good hearted man (Chorus) Woah' can you out-run the weight of the world, the wight of the world when it's holding you down? Woah can you out-last the pain of the fall, the pain of the fall when you fall to the ground? (Chorus) So many good people they come good people they come, from a broken road So many good people they come good people they come, they come and they go
