(Kris Kristofferson)
I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight
I've seen the sweat streak of the pain on your face
Cause you're caught like a clown in a circle of strangers
Who do you screw to get out of this place.
It's one for the money and too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul
That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.
Too many bodies in too many bars
Too many feelings are falling behind
Cause you're easy to fool when you're lost in the stars
Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind.
It's one for the money and too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul
That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.
Take a look in her eyes and you see what you sold...
I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight
I've seen the sweat streak of the pain on your face
Cause you're caught like a clown in a circle of strangers
Who do you screw to get out of this place.
It's one for the money and too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul
That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.
Too many bodies in too many bars
Too many feelings are falling behind
Cause you're easy to fool when you're lost in the stars
Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind.
It's one for the money and too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul
That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.
Take a look in her eyes and you see what you sold...
This song is from the album "Spooky Lady's Sideshow" and "Original Album Classics".
