Remember me, you were a friend of mine, |
|
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time. |
|
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last? |
|
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast. |
|
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame, |
|
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain. |
|
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone. |
|
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home. |
|
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, |
|
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah. |
|
Lookin' back, I still recall the time, |
|
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind. |
|
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way? |
|
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play. |
|
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain, |
|
And dreams are all you have to hold on to. |
|
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much, |
|
To think of all the love I had for you. |
|
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, |
|
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah. |
|
{Rod - Slide Solo} |
|
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone. |
|
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home. |
|
Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home, |
|
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah. |
