Empty Hearted Town (3:05) (solo piano) Lyrics

Ain't life strange?
Ain't it funny?
Nothin' matters much but love and money.
Things don't work out the way you reckon.
The money comes first, and the love comes second.

Cigarettes make the sun come up.
Whiskey makes the sun go down.
And in between you do a lot of standing around.

It's all I can do to make it through the day.
She wrapped it all in darkness and I can't find my way.
And I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA
Wishing I had a warmer jacket
And the leaves are falling down.
I'm just another man,
With an empty handed heart,
In an empty hearted town.

It started out alright.
It ended up all wrong.
Shoulda done, shoulda done,
That's my song.

Now the night is falling hard and fast
All dressed up for the masquerade,
And the lights of the city stretch as far as the eyes can see.
Look what wonders man has made!
Look what wonders man has made!

I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA
Wishing I had a warmer jacket
And the leaves are falling down
And I'm just another man,
With an empty handed heart,
In an empty hearted town.

And I'm walking down the sidewalks of LA
Wishing I had a warmer jacket
And something more to say.
