Empty Hearted Town - Warren Zevon

Ain’t life strange

Ain’t it funny

Nothing matters much but love and money

Things don’t work out the way you reckonded

Money comes first

And the love comes second

Cigarettes make the sun come up Whiskey makes the sun go down

And in between

We 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 eee-mpty hearted town

It started out alright

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 eye can see

Look what wonders man has made x2

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 eee-mpty hearted town

I’m walking down the sidewalks of LA

Wishing I had a warmer jacket

And something more to say
