Pawned my Casio saxophone Stole a 38 Bought a ticket on a greyhound to Baltimore Took a seat down at the gate A man in a wheelchair rolled up to me Said son the end is near And while you can stand up for me Tell somebody I need a beer And I don't drink because I want to I just drink for the pain And it keeps me warm at night While I'm sleeping in the rain Got a part-time job in Omaha In a late-night convenience store Spend most of my time reading magazines Kept a damn close watch on the door A girl comes in with tracks on her arms Shaking like a tambourine I say honey why you do yourself like that And she stared dead straight at me She said I don't run junk cause I want to I Just run junk, for the pain And this horse keeps me warm at night While I'm sleeping in the rain. So before you go to casting stones Take a good look in your heart And be thankful that you have a home And pray for those lost souls in the dark Cause God loves them more than you'll ever know Cause all they have is him And his heart is with the losers He don't care who wins. And he loves them cause he wants to And he loves them through the pain And he keeps them warm at night While he's sleeping in the rain. While he's sleeping in the rain. While he's sleeping in the rain.
