Lyrics

The deed is done and the day is falling
The heart is worn and my feet are rolling
I'm bound for glory I'm bound for Washington
Another round of Whiskey and I'm gone
My shoes are worn my burdens many
My fate is sworn to the Westbound train
A round for the whores a round for the sinners
For the restless world on which we spin

Don't let the good life pass you by no no
Don't let the hard times wind you down
Don't let your sorrows lead you from my side
Don't let your troubles be your guide

You may be hidden in your castle
You may be right out in the rain
You may be swimming through your could have beens
Or swallowing your pride in shame

Don't let the good life pass you by no no
Don't let the hard times wind you down
Don't let your sorrows lead you from my side
Don't let your troubles be your guide


Until we fall, we build our walls
with cannonballs and gin
Until the day, we walk away
Refuse to pay our troubles and our sin

In the palace and in the barrio
Every story is the same
It's the folded hand, it's the broken heart
Everyone played by the game
So come you rogues come you castaways
Take up your ragged wings and fly
Don't let your sorrows be your only hand
Don't let your troubles be your guide

Don't let the good life pass you by no no
Don't let the hard times wind you down
Don't let your sorrows lead you from my side
Don't let your troubles be your guide
