Gunfire At Midnight

The Brandos Gunfire At Midnight歌詞
1.Ridin' The Red-eye

You see that grey-haired man
By the window
He ain't half as old
As he looks
Barely aware that his wife
Has left him
He won't see his
Children grow up

Chorus:

Ridin' the Red-Eye
You can't take this
Ride all the way
Ridin' the Red-Eye
Whoa, it'll kill you
One day

You see that girl
So young and pretty
She don't know she'll be
Gettin' off soon
She'll take anything
To stay on the Red-Eye
She don't see she's got
It all to lose

I'm sick and tired of hearin' why
I should get on board
That old Red-Eye
To find myself surrounded
By dealers, drunks
And wasted lives
Overdoses, bitter tears
I want a sharp mind
And my vision clear
Gonna look at life
Right in the eye
Gonna make damn sure
It don't pass me by
Only two ways
To get off the Red-Eye
One's good
And the other one ain't
One leaves you
Six feet under
One gives you
A chance again

Get off the Red-Eye
You can't take this
Ride all the way
Ridin' the Red-Eye
Whoa, it'll kill you
One day


2.Anna Lee

Anna Lee spends her time
Staring out at nothing
When the moon's on the rise
Sitting on a porch swing
Anna Lee dreams of other days
Other nights and times of old
When a girl believed in anything
She was told

Chorus:

Way down in the Southland
It's just another day
Buried alive in a memory
That never goes away
The young men of the Southland
The music that played
Only her dreams go unchanged

Anna Lee stands alone
Hidden in the shadows
Listening for someone's voice
Gazing out of windows
Anna Lee dreams of gentlemen
Promises as good as gold
When a girl believed in anything
She was told
