Lyrics
Desperation Alley Ron Tintner and Katherine Wong © 2008 V1: Back alley diner Cold, gray afternoon She nurses her gin And waits for the moon In a ragged dress And worn out shoes She'll be dancing tonight To nothin' but the blues CHORUS: When you're all alone Consumed by the blues Desperation alley is the place to go V2: Ol' blind Joe Left home at nine Wailin' on his harp To make a dime He had a dream Of where to go The promised land Only blues men know - CHORUS - INSTRUMENTAL BREAK V3: Me and my guitar Wanderin' the streets From Wichita to Birmingham And all points in-between On an endless trip To God knows where I needed a whiskey A song and a prayer - CHORUS - Tag: Desperation alley... is your home
