Ladies and Gentlemen of the Road

On my first day back in town
I did a good job of keeping my head down
Smiling as I go
For we ladies and gentlemen of the road

Keep your reckless heart, your crooked teeth, and that wrecked nose
Sleeping on floors, huddled in our coats, we are so busted

I'll rephrase my request in the form of a threat
The trouble we make versus the trouble we take
Hotel bars and hours and hours
Life is an all-ages show

The life you've waited your whole life for
Curled up in a fetal position on the floor
Punk rocking, pill-popping, doing the do
Nobody wants to be someone's second choice but I'd do it for you

Keep your reckless heart, your crooked teeth, and that wrecked nose
Sleeping on floors, huddled in our coats, we are so busted

I'll rephrase my request in the form of a threat
The trouble we make versus the trouble we take
Airport bars and hours and hours
Life is an all-ages show
Life is an all-ages show!

Keep your reckless heart, your crooked teeth, and that wrecked nose
Sleeping on floors, huddled in our coats, we are so busted

I'll rephrase my request in the form of a threat
The trouble we make versus the trouble we take
Hotel bars and hours and hours
Life is an all-ages show!
Life is an all-ages show!
Life is an all-ages show!
Life is an all-ages show you know!
