Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm waiting for somethin' to take place
Something to take me away from this race
'Round city to city, town to town
Runnin' around in the shoes of a clown
I'm that desperate, no count, desperado
A thief of love, my business is the street
I be shakin' 'em down in old Colorado
Texas, she's nice, but Georgia's oh so sweet
Just get away with me darlin', your lovin' just can't be beat
[Verse 2]
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin', but so what?
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for so well now
I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it you
Skin it back
[Verse 3]
Somethin' real, somethin' to feel
I can't find a soul who'll take on this mess
It's those rock 'n' roll hours, early graves without flowers
Please, please, darlin' put my mind at rest
I'm beggin', please darlin', put my mind at rest
[Verse 4]
So it seems that the world keeps on turnin', but so what?
I don't doubt it, it just keeps on the move
You're a dream, and that's all that I ask for so well now
I'm wonderin' just how I'm gonna tell it you
[Verse 5]
Skin it back
Tell it to you
Skin it back
Tell it to you
Skin it back
Tell it to you
Skin it back
Tell it to you
