No Place To Go (Live) Lyrics

He came from the wrong side of town

He never gave up, no he never backed down

Never had nothing given to him

Always working hard, nothing's for free

Cuts, bumps, bruises, he wore them all

Too low to rise, too low to fall

Easy come, easy easy go

It's this side of life that you don't know

Where will he wind up

I think you know

When you start out here

There's no place to go

Bad Luck Billy - that was his name

After his dad left, he was never the same

Rejected by his family, wouldn't call him their own

Always on the streets, always on the roam

Never found his place at his school

He wasn't around enough to become cool

Drugs and booze became his best friends

Wanna bet how the story ends

Where will he wind up

I think you know

When you start out here

There's no place to go

All he wanted was to be loved

Tired of being pushed around and shoved

Time and the streets caught up to him

All of his life, all of his sins

Then one day it happened like you knew it would

Unfortunately sooner than it should

Billy stepped up, the guy pulled a gun

Shot Billy down then turned to run

Where did he wind up

Now we know

When you start out here

There's no place to go

Where did he wind up

Now we know

Dead on the streets

Awful way to go
