[00:00.68]I packed up and spent a week traveling east on the Interstate
[00:08.11]On a pittance for a fast food diet and some toothpaste
[00:15.63]I can remedy along getting drunk getting stoned
[00:19.61]Then I m back to my good old ways
[00:23.18]Open arms at the bar for the prodigal son who often goes astray
[00:30.71]For now the waking world can wait
[00:35.91]To sing your blues away
[00:39.62]And hope for better days
[00:42.24]Pick an old song
[00:44.04]Then we ll dance in the dark
[00:45.86]It s that needle and thread
[00:48.14]Stitch up my broken heart
[00:51.08]
[00:57.18]I cave in I black out I bottle up until I pick a fight
[01:04.72]Then I raise a bloody fist in a salute to every passerby
[01:12.26]For the law man s sake I might bend but I won t break
[01:16.27]That part I leave for lovers in life
[01:19.79]This is my right to keep quiet
[01:21.96]I ll reserve it for some other time
[01:27.35]For now the waking world can wait
[01:32.57]To sing your blues away
[01:36.36]And hope for better days
[01:38.96]And pick an old song
[01:40.83]Then we ll dance in the dark
[01:42.58]It s that needle and thread
[01:44.81]Stitch up my broken heart
[01:50.74]Cuff me up and take me in
[01:52.21]So I can sleep an hour or two
[01:57.56]Just me and the gross criminals
[01:59.94]Singing loud with nothing to lose
[02:03.42]Oh Lord the music save their soul
[02:07.39]When nothing s right
[02:09.29]We ll rock and roll
[02:11.08]For now the waking world can wait
[02:15.94]To sing your blues away
[02:19.84]Hope for better days
[02:22.72]Pick an old song
[02:24.21]Then we ll dance in the dark
[02:26.09]It s that needle and thread
[02:29.80]For now the waking world can wait
[02:34.92]To sing your blues away
[02:38.87]Hope for better days
[02:41.64]Pick an old song
[02:43.08]Then we ll dance in the dark
[02:45.00]It s that needle and thread
[02:47.11]Stitch up my broken heart
[02:50.44]
[02:54.91]Stitch up my broken heart
[03:01.24]
