Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Took a cab to the city to clear my mind I drank my way through the streets and in the Sailortown I took so much stuff I thought I'd never come down Made me feel much better than I'd felt for awhile I found girls that helped me up from falling down I never once gave my heart out, never let them inside There was just too many ghosts, and too much crime My heart wasn't fit to be the loving type With dreams of better days in mind O Lord, won't you see me through to better times And if I don't make it out alive Put my name on a chair right by your side Mmmmmm Mmmmmm I took a job there singing most every night Entertaining hearts more broken than mine Waiting for a light to shine To lead me right out of my dark decline With dreams of better days in mind O Lord, won't you see me through to better times And if I don't make it out alive Put my name on a chair right by your side Mmmmmm Mmmmmm I took a cab to the city to clear my mind I ended up with a mind needing exorcised With dreams of better days in mind O Lord, won't you see me through to better times And if I don't make it out alive Just put my name on a chair right by your side If I don't make it out alive Put my name on a chair right by your side Mmmmmm
