(Steve Walsh / Kerry Livgren)
I"m in a kind of foolish game, I try to get rich quick,
But I"m going insane,
The kind of freaks that hang out on 42nd Street
They"re all pimpin" Judys and poppin" speed, well
It"s a game of cat and mouse, and I think it"s got my soul,
I think it"s time for thinkin" "bout a time to roll on
Down the road

Here comes Big Mike, I kinda owe him some beans,
He must be crazy, I guess that"s why he"s so mean,
If I tell him I"m leavin", he would sure enough split my gut,
Cause he knows I sold to a sucker, and I owe Big Mike a cut,
But I"ll slip him a 20-dollar bill till I get out of town,
When I hit those white lines, I"m gonna be gone like a
Greyhound down the road
