Standing on the edge, the edge of the world now
Waiting for tomorrow to come around
Know I never begged, begged a sweet whore now
But tonight I'm feeling lonely
Maybe you could help me out
Chorus:
Yes and I tried to make, her understand
That there's only so much I can take
Only so much I can stand
And if we stop this all right now, I'll lend my hand
And be your man again
He held a knife, a knife to her throat now
Cause she held a secret that could not get out
Her room was filled, with whiskey and smoke now
She held a pistol that he never found
Chorus
