Train whistle blowin’, Right outside my window,
Take me back to when I was young.
“Peaceful Easy Feeling” Playing on my radio,
And Cash every song that I sung.

We fell in love in a fogged up car,
Parked at the top of a hill.
I remember the sweet words you Wished on a Star,
And I probably always will.

Lonely whispers callin’, Deep inside my memory,
Makes me think there’s more to be heard.
Sometimes I think I’m Falling,
With no one there to catch me,
I’m hangin’ on your every word.

Tricked off the Money, and all the Stuff that you got me,
Gotta say I had a good time.
Came back empty handed, I guess you shoulda shot me,
I’m the one who made it a crime.

This could be the end of the story,
I guess I’ll get by somehow,
Now you’re gone and I can’t say I’m sorry,
I wish I could now.

Gunshots popping, Right outside my window,
Make me feel like I’m all alone,
In a cold hard world I can see it for myself,
Stranded in a freaking war zone.

Helicopter flying, Right outside my window,
The fifth time they circled my place.
I’m not that important, I keep telling’ myself,
My neighbors think that I’m a disgrace.

Landlord knockin’, Right outside my window,
My god, it’s only seven o’clock!
Then the phone rang.
Then the police came.
Gotta find another place to ROCK!

Gotta find another place to ROCK!
