verse 1
Well my shoes are crumbling from my feet
Still I can choose to embrace victory or defeat
It's just I'm scared I must have done somebody wrong
Still I'm prepared to pay the price
In another life as another someone
Cause I'm here and then I'm gone
But I wont to be gone for long
It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run
verse 2
Little children always seem afraid of me
I never done them wrong
Nor their parents, as far as I can see
I know it's true I ain't too cool
I kinda dress down like tramp
No, it's no excuse not to bathe
I know that I smell pretty bad
Well I'm always out of line
But I'm just my mother's son
And I live a little beyond where the last buses run
verse 3
And it's true I never had a job
Unlike you there's no one I have ever robbed
I'm a man though they treat me like a dog
I can't understand what it is they are so afraid of
For I'd love to be with you
But it just cannot be done
For I live a little beyond where the last buses run
Interlude
verse 4
Well the sun is water in my eye
And my blues are as blue as the cloudless summer sky
And if I knew what tomorrow might bring
I might throw a noose over a beam & there I'd swing
But it ain't mee and even cliches disappear
I can bare my teeth even while I'm living on the verge of tears
For today there's too much sunshine in the sky
And these tears of grief could be tears of joy
Welling in my eye for the
The end is coming soon but it's only just begun
Where I live a little beyond where the last buses run
Well I'm crank and I'm a crack pot
But I ain't a bad son of a gun
It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run
