Sleeping in the Rain

Pawned my Casio saxophone
 Stole a 38
 Bought a ticket on a greyhound to Baltimore
 Took a seat down at the gate
 A man in a wheelchair rolled up to me
 Said son the end is near
 And while you can stand up for me
 Tell somebody I need a beer
 And I don't drink because I want to
 I just drink for the pain
 And it keeps me warm at night
 While I'm sleeping in the rain
 Got a part-time job in Omaha
 In a late-night convenience store
 Spend most of my time reading magazines
 Kept a damn close watch on the door
 A girl comes in with tracks on her arms
 Shaking like a tambourine
 I say honey why you do yourself like that
 And she stared dead straight at me
 She said I don't run junk cause I want to
 I Just run junk, for the pain
 And this horse keeps me warm at night
 While I'm sleeping in the rain.
 So before you go to casting stones
 Take a good look in your heart
 And be thankful that you have a home
 And pray for those lost souls in the dark
 Cause God loves them more than you'll ever know
 Cause all they have is him
 And his heart is with the losers
 He don't care who wins.
 And he loves them cause he wants to
 And he loves them through the pain
 And he keeps them warm at night
 While he's sleeping in the rain.
 While he's sleeping in the rain.
 While he's sleeping in the rain.
