Songtext von Mr. Walker

The old man is out by nine His wife died a year ago Always wearing his sunday clothes Never seen him talk to anyone Liquor stores and churches There's one on every corner Thanks for all my daily bread A can of food, bottle of wine, And a 99 cent pack of cigarettes He's a solid piece of stone He aint got much backbone He's a solid piece of stone And he's got to get back to the ghetto A dusty old bone For the dogs to swallow whole He likes to go his way alone Watch them pick apart this old lone soul He's a solid piece of stone He aint got much backbone He's a solid piece of stone And he's got to get back to the ghetto So it goes, he's alone, they pick apart his old lone soul (2x) So it goes, he's alone, my life, my hole He's a solid piece of stone He aint got much backbone He's a solid piece of stone And he's got to get back to the ghetto He's a solid piece of stone And he's got to get back to the ghetto
