lyrics

Rolled into Nassau at a quarter to ten
Those flashing lights shining behind me again
All of the while he stood and smiled
He took my name and through it into the pile
You've been to Hollywood, you think you're doin' so good
No use to change or pack
Because there's no way back

Down on main street the hustlers walk in file
Takin' your money with a devilish smile
They bring you down so low and love it when it hurts
You dig the grave they'll shovel on the dirt
All of time you don't even know
It's not how far, but how low you go
Out on the board walk the junkies are stacked
There's no way back

I'm down in Tulsa tryin' to smile
Don't expect me to be back for a while
This woman gave me love and took away my worry
Then she took my money and left in a hurry
Just when you think its alright, you find out it's all jive
No time to change or pack
Baby, there's no way back
