Railroad Jerk - Hot Potato

To Rate
Night turns from blue to gray
I'm on the edge and I start to fray
So play me a sad song
One that's not too long

He was born in the afternoon
With a plastic fork and a silver spoon
Oh Jesus, that car alarm
Will tattoo your name on my right arm

You can walk that crooked line
But you can't have your picture in the paper every day
All the time

She don't live too far
Ten minutes' walk and two by car
And when it starts to pour
I'll be there at your door

You can try to be true
But can you live honest and not hurt the ones you are
Closest to?

Darling, forsake me not
Summer is here and I'm getting hot
So I'll try to be true
And I wake up and get dressed and get on the bus
I wait for you
Come on

Morning has come at last
No more worrying about the past
