[Verse 1]
The things that I pray for are never prayed for me
The things that I've trained for are never trained for me
The things I've arranged for I've learned to wait and see
All I know is money's short, and love is never free
[Chorus 1]
Winnona, Winnona, why don't we settle down
Winnona, Winnona, on the other side of town
The buses run on time there, the crowds are not so strange
Come on, come on, Winnona, you're itching for a change
[Verse 2]
Wе wandered round the world on thе cheap of a guitar
Learning by that process you can only go so far
The festival of fireflies left all the city burned
Have to get him out of jail, our passports for a turn
[Chorus 2]
Winnona, Winnona, why don't we settle down
Winnona, Winnona, on the other side of town
Winnona, Winnona, life could be so free
Winnona, Winnona, come on, come on with me
[Verse 3]
A thousand men have fallen on their face to get to you
Like Helen was to Troy, New York City was to you
Everybody knows the rules, they line up at the tack
The loser takes the winner, who dares to turn her back
[Chorus 3]
Winnona, Winnona, why don't we settle down
Winnona, Winnona, on the other side of town
Winnona, Winnona, please put down the gun
Winnona, Winnona, you can't shoot out the sun
[Outro]
Winnona, Winnona, you can't
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the-
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
Shoot out the sun
