[00:00.00]Lonely Street - Kansas
[00:14.49]Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street
[00:21.36]Well it sure don't seem like twenty years
[00:28.93]Since I went walking down this lonely street
[00:36.12]And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air
[00:44.55]This street ain't got no name dead end is in the river
[00:50.55]And I lived where I hated life day by day
[00:57.37]There wasn't nothing I could do to shake a cold night shiver
[01:04.37]Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say
[01:11.56]Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street
[01:19.12]And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore
[01:24.24]You know I killed a man and I paid all I can
[01:29.81]With twenty years on a chain gang
[01:33.49]For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor
[01:40.43]Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street
[01:47.18]I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go
[01:54.12]And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street
[02:01.12]My mind rolls back the years long time ago
[02:08.43]I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes
[02:16.00]And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor
[02:23.62]She mumbles through bloody lips about a bad man robber raper
[02:30.37]And in my gut I know I got one to score
[02:44.19]The word was comin' down down on Lonely Street
[03:43.88]That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail
[03:50.88]Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street
[04:03.32]I get stinkin' drunk and always in jail
[04:06.63]One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler
[04:27.95]He was caught on the street makin' some old whore
[04:32.01]I remember he was quite proud of that
[04:36.51]So half-crazed I shot him
[04:38.57]And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor
