They hung a sign up in our town

If you live it up you won't live it down

Well he gave her a dimestore watch

Everyone's looking for someone to blame

When you share my bed you share my name

Well go ahead and call the cops ■

Take my hand I'm standing right here you gotta hold on

Down by the Riverside motel

When it's cold and there's no music
