There's no hope for myself trying to be a good pearl
Tried to walk the line and see the light
But as the sun sets, the lonelier I get
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound or go down town
Just cocaine and running and howling all night long
A tango with hell, but it sure don't matter none
'Cause my baby left me in 2001 and I
Haven't seen the sun since he's been gone
All I do is watch the moon
Nothing's right it's all messed up I'm lonely and I'm grieving
My conscience hallelujah drives me to thinking
And all the good in me to leaving
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound
For the blue and red down town
Tried to walk the line and see the light
But as the sun sets, the lonelier I get
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound or go down town
Just cocaine and running and howling all night long
A tango with hell, but it sure don't matter none
'Cause my baby left me in 2001 and I
Haven't seen the sun since he's been gone
All I do is watch the moon
Nothing's right it's all messed up I'm lonely and I'm grieving
My conscience hallelujah drives me to thinking
And all the good in me to leaving
Tried to put my thoughts down
Keep my hands in my pockets
Not to make a sound
For the blue and red down town
