From the recording SHADOWS OF THE PAST
Lyrics
Low Life
I laid her, took her home about 12 O’clock
The girl was dreaming
She told me not to leave her and I was in shock
Baby what’s you deal’n
Everybody shouting like the town was on fire
Saying run you sinner
Hold on tight,
there’s gonna be a fight
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life, they said we were Low Life, That’s right
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life, You don’t even know life
Some high-class dude in uniform,
A man in T-shirt
C’mon waiter let us through
I’d kind of like to feed her
He started saying something about
Some rock hotel, save us time tonight
They threw us out from on top of the Hilton
And say shit I don’t like
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life, they said we were Low Life, That’s right
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life, You don’t even know life
Solo
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life, they said we were Low Life, That’s right
Low Life, they said we were Low Life
Low Life
