Sometimes in the evenings I start to get that feeling Like Im empty inside I know Im doin good now but tonight Im headed downtown Down by the riverside I sit underneath the freeway with an old friend from the old days And a bottle of wine Well he used to call me Big Time And he knew someday that Id shine, said, hed seen all the signs He said, Keep yourself to yourself, keep your bedroll dry And boy you never can tell, what the shadows hide Keep Ene-eve on the ground, pick up whatever you find Cause youve got no place to fall, when your backs to the wall Hes gettin old and its showin when I asked him how its goin He said Ive seen better I guess Ive been rained on, Ive been frozen, but this heres the life Ive chosen If it just wasnt for the loneliness Now this river suits me to a T, but if youre trying to raise a family It aint no place to be theres a kid down by the dump there Ought to be in grade school somewhere Now he hangs out with me and I told him Keep yourself to yourself, keep your bedroll dry And boy you never can tell, what the shadows hide Keep Ene-eve on the ground, pick up whatever you find Cause youve got no place to fall, when your backs to the wall Well we finished off the bottle and I told him Joe I think I ought to be headed uptown Well it was late, and Id been drinkin, drivin home, I got to thinkin Bout whats been going down Cause theyre nervous down on Wall Street But theyre trying to keep it upbeat or maybe they just dont care But down at the river eyes are burnin, cause they feel the tables turnin So if you wind up down there So keep yourself to yourself, keep your bedroll dry And boy you never can tell, what the shadows hide Keep Ene-eve on the ground, pick up whatever you find Cause youve got no place to fall, when your backs to the wall
