lyrics

Snake On A Track

(chorus)
A dollar sign looks like a snake on a track
and baby you know
that he ain't coming back
again
my friend
his angel
wouldn't you know it but life is strange
what you need to live
gonna take your love away.//he'll never know where you've been to - isn't what you mean to me what I mean to you?

A good man would never cheat or lie
he'll keep his secrets 'til the day he dies
but if dreams and silver wouldn't hold him
he'd be walking away aching to your window.

(chorus)

And you'll never see me out on the wind
I won't be spreading my wisdom where I've been
so when he's going around the orange blossom bend
I'd like to make my way to your window.

(chorus)

The reality checks don't pay the bills
he's on the road to high and lonesome thrills
sending you money when he's down the line
honey, don't you want to be a friend of mine?

(chorus x2)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
