red lights and neon şarkı sözü

i hope you don´t mind if i
rest inside your door
please forgive the snowy footprints
i´m tracking on your floor.
i only want to stop and rest
don´t want to start no fight.
i´ll just wait here for a while
´till the police car´s out of sight.
for as long as i remember
i´ve hated those red lights
and hotel rooms with plaster walls
and loud and lonely nights.
it seems like i´ve been on this road
ever since i was a kid
i could tell if i was sorry
if i remembered what i did.
a wanted man in new orleans
matches my description.
mister druggist please be kind enough
to refill my prescription.
if i had to do it over
this ain´t the life i´d choose
but the road still runs and so do i
and at least i made the news.
and the streetlights never waver
and the red lights never dim
and the neon always glitters
and it was better me than him.
