The Knife Feels Like Justice

It's a late, cool, autumn evening 
And the sunset melts into night 
With a V-twin throbbing beneath me 
And my head is spinning alright
Well, Ritchie and me, 
we started as kids In a rock 'n' roll band, 
on the street where we lived 


It's a long hard ride till the morning 
As the trees and wind start to sing
Chains around your heart that bind 
Break away and leave them behind
Well, once there was a time in this rock 'n' roll dream 
This here town would rip apart at the seams 
Now, I'm out of money and Billy's out of work 
Eddie's pushin' pencils for the county clerk
Everybody's job is getting pushed out of town 
Life is just knockin' 'em down, down 


Boyhood dreams are run into the ground 
Long, dark shadows hang over this town
Cast away the chains that bleed 
Break away and leave you free
Take my hand, come leave with me 


As nighttime fades away 
We'll ride the hills and desert sand 
Cross the barren land
All the families have all gone 
Their jobs went before them, I'm sure 
They knocked down the corner barber shop 


Put up a super, triple level, parking lot
There once was a time you could vote for a man 
Who wouldn't try and stick a gun in your hands 
So, cut out all your talkin' 
And make love with me through the night
Chains around your heart that bind 
Break away and leave them behind 
Just leave them behind 
Just leave them behind
