Well sometimes in the evenings I start to get that feeling
Like I m empty inside
I know I m doin good now but tonight I m 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 I d shine
Said he d 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 you ve got no place to fall
When your back s to the wall"

He s gettin old and it s showin when I asked him how it s goin
He said "I ve seen better I guess
I ve been rained onI ve been frozenbut this here s the life I ve chosen
If it just wasn t for the loneliness"

Now this river suits me to a T. but if you re trying to raise a family
It ain t no place to be
There s a kid down by the dump thereought to be in grade school somewhere
Now he hangs out with me
And I told him . . ."

Well we finished off the bottle and I told him"Joe I think I ought to
Be headed uptown"
Well it was lateand I d been drinkin drivin home I got to thinkin
Bout what s been going down

Cause they re nervous down on Wall Streetbut they re trying to keep it upbeat
Or maybe they just don t care
But down at the river eyes are burnin cause they feel the tables turnin
So if you wind up down there . . .
