lyrics

I’m so lonely I don’t really care
But you can meet me and I hope you’ll dare
I’m no longer hurt lying in my lair
Staring at the moon something in the air

Runnin’ wild
Livin’ high
Gettin’ mad
That’s the way I live and I miss you bad

You left me here with my broken dreams
Now you cry and I’m doomed this is how it seems
But Honey if you do watcha gotta do
You got the upper hand and you know it’s true
You know you can find me but the road is tough
I’m longgone and shattered I ain’t got no stuff
Crawlin’ in your soul deep down in your heart
I’m sick of this world and I’m falling apart

Oh can’t you see you’re racing with the devil
Tryin’ to live for sumethin’ real
I’d been livin’ for the day I will see her face
But we all die alone in this big ol’ mess

With your clenching fists and your big black eyes
You can rule the world, you can fight and rise
And if someone tells you that you’re good for nuthin’
Say you were born bad and keep on fightin’
You never really wanted this kind of life
So you gotta realize you hold the knife
Makin’ it through with your head up high
You don’t need that dress, let’s go for a ride

Runnin’ wild
Livin’ high
Gettin’ mad
That’s the way I live and I miss you bad

Oh can’t you see you’re racing with the devil
Tryin’ to live for sumethin’ real
I’d been livin’ for the day I will see her face
But we all die alone in this big ol’ mess

about

J. Kowalski & The Ghost Band Montreal, Québec

Outlaw, alone, wreck. I do everything pretty much by myself. If you like boot stompin' whiskey drinkin' homemade music, you make my day, punk. If you don't, well, i'm gonna have to shoot you in the head...
