Skid Row
Jerry Lee Lewis
[Verse 1] I walk down a lonely highway I’ve been drinking that no-good-wine And I’m always searching for a treasure I’ll never find I ain’t going nowhere ’cause there’s nowhere I can go So I guess I’m doomed to die on old Skid Row [Verse 2] I once had a good woman lord I had money to burn Till I started roaming on a road that has no turn There are no intersections on this one-way lonely street Where Skid Rows mocks the lost soul for the fee [Solo] [Verse 3] Had I only the power to show others what I see Perhaps I could turn them back there’s no turning back for me I’m so hopelessly lost now with the streams are sorrow flow Just a poor helpless devil on old Skid Row [Verse 4] Now I ain’t got no money and I ain’t got no friends I’m stumbling in the darkness at a path that has no end Oh lord please show your guidance to this fool that does not know it The despair that haunts me here on old Skid Row
