What a Way to Go Lyrics

I met a man out on a bridge pier
He said he's gonna jump to save his soul
I said what's the world done to make you mad man
He said sit down son now here's the dope
I can't find work 'cause i'm a blind man
I can't see but sometimes i can see the light
Now is my life a labor of love or is my life a love of labor
I still got a hollow feeling in my life
What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go
I met this girl her name escapes me
Said son i'd love you to be my man
She wrote her name out on a dollar
I spent that dollar on a shot of jim
Spent it on a shot of jim

I talked him down and then i walked off
I turned around and he was gone himself
A mile down the road it came upon me
It was me i talked off that ledge
It was me i talked off that ledge
It was me i talked off that ledge
What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go
