Not One Swingin' Door - Week Five - Day Two


Hi there.

Happy budget day!
I am sure we'll all get what we deserve. One way or another.

Enjoy.

Not One Swingin’ Door ( The Ballad of the Concrete Cowboy )

I’ve been a wanderer all my life
I’ve seen the rivers dry
And stars collide

I never cared for cityscapes
With walls of grey
That litter the skyline

I’d rather be out in the great wild
On a trail that leads to nowhere
With a sky that never dies

Robbing banks ain’t fun at all
But it keeps me far from
Living nine to five

And I won’t hurt no one
Unless they're dumb
Enough to put me in their sights

I’d rather see
A dusty old saloon
And general store

But all that’s around
Are cafés, clubs
Not one swingin’ door

I guess I’ll head out west
I hear there’s plenty there
To please a guy like me

I hope that there’s a hope in hell
That I can find my way
Before I freeze

RW
