Steady Rollin'

You might have seen me 'neath the pool hall lights
Well, baby, I go back each night
If you got a throat I got a knife
Steady rollin', I keep goin'

And I don't mind how quick the seasons change
You know to me they's e'ryone the same
The sweetest sunshine drips the drain
Death's comin', I'm still runnin'

Well, I come from the old time, baby
Too late for you to save me
If I remain, then I'm to blame
But if you should ever need me
I'll go where'er you lead me
It's all the same, the same old game

My lovin' baby she's a ball and chain
I still can travel but my speed has changed
I bring the money, I take the blame
Steady rollin', I keep goin'

But I shot my wife today
Dropped her body in the Frisco bay
I had no choice it was the only way
Death's comin', I'm still runnin'

Well, I come from the old time, baby
Too late for you to save me
If I remain, then I'm to blame
But if you should ever need me
I'll go where'er you lead me
It's all the same, the same old game

Out waltzin' with the Holy Ghost
From the Bowery to the Barbary Coast
The land I'm from, you know, I love the most
Steady rollin', I keep goin'

And everyday is just another town
The more I search, you know, the less I've found
Me, I'm a sucker, just a slave to sound
Death's comin', I'm still runnin'

Well, I come from the old time, baby
Where all the kids are crazy
If I remain, then I'm to blame
But if you should ever need me
I'll go where'er you lead me
It's all the same, the same old game
