BACK ON THE STREET AGAIN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

woke up this morning
and put on my socks
went to the door
and the jail was unlocked
grabbed holt my ax
and I got outta there
dint leave a note to say where
I hadda leave
back on the street again

after 200 miles
I began to slow down
stopped the world
and I looked around
the earth was blue
and the sky was green
wasn't like
no place I'd ever seen
not since I been
back on the street again

[chorus]:
the day may come
when you have no friend
the night may come
when you thinks the end
but in the morning
you get up and then
you're back on the street again

I asked a cop
what the hell is this
he said yes
and put me on his list
I went to get
a cuppa joe
I said how much
they said we don't know
but make it sweet
back on the street again

I went back out
when they pulled a gun
I asked a cab
where do I get fun
he said okay
if you're the one
I said no way
and I began to run
the sign said eat
back on the street again

I found a girl
and began to dance
she said is this
the meaning of romance
I said hey babe
just play it loose
but she just grinned
and gave me a goose
she was a treat
back on the street again

[chorus]:
the day may come
when you have no friend
the night may come
when you thinks the end
but in the morning
you get up and then
you're back on the street again

I had enough
so I went back home
just wanted to
leave the freaks alone
the java had
made me feel unwell
I climbed back in
to my prison cell
rinse and repeat
back on the street again
