1
Back on the corner
2
I'm singing the blues
3
I can see my reflection
4
In the shine of your shoes
5
Like Momma used to say
6
No news is good news
7
And I'm back on the corner again
8
Back on the corner
9
Got my seeing-eye dog
10
He's blind as justice
11
And hungry as a hog
12
I feel like a prince
13
But I look like a frog
14
And I'm back on the corner again
15
Back on the corner
16
Pitching pennies and dimes
17
Hell, I don't even know
18
How I got here this time
19
Singing for my supper at 12th Street and Vine
20
Back on the corner again
21
Used to take seven pills
22
Just to get up in the morning
23
From seven different doctors
24
With seven different warnings
25
I'd call 'em up to say I'm coming apart
26
They'd say call us back when the fireworks start
27
Well I lost my address
28
I lost my wife
29
I lost my children
30
I lost my knife
31
But if you trifle with me
32
It's my life against your life
33
Back on the corner again
34
Back on the corner
35
Something's sticking in my craw
36
How come everything I do
37
Is up against the law
38
You can't arrest a man, can you
39
For trying to break his own fall
40
Back on the corner again
41
Back on the corner
42
Got a pidgeon for a friend
43
He said he'd come to see me
44
But he did not say when
45
One of these days
46
He's gonna fly back home and then
47
Back on the corner again
48
Every long, drawn step it took to get me here
49
Was full of best intentions
50
Bright hopes and good cheer
51
With dreams made out of silk
52
Lined with silver and gold
53
Too beautiful to mention
54
Too heavy to ever hold
55
Well, I'm back on the corner
56
With the pimps and the whores
57
Least I know what they're standing here for
58
She smiles, tips me a dollar,
59
And I play her one more
60
Back on the corner again
61
Back on the corner again
62
Back on the corner again
