san jose - joe purdy

Mona, you know you wander
on the street corner
i should have warned you
all of the boys and
all of their poisen
they rob you blind
i knew your mother
god rest her soul
and where was your father,
ya well nobody knows
you wish things were different
the hands you were given
just dont seem fair
yah you playin with what you given
and your doing fine
ya but you try not to think about it
most of the time
you just do what you have to
to make sure you get through
yah but sometimes it hurts
singing mona
you know you wander
on the street corner
i should have warned you
all of the boys and
all of their poisen
as they make there way
ya to san jose
yah well your still so young
but you feel so old
its just the things you been through
that are making you cold
i think your going to turn soon
i gotta be careful with my moves
just might loose you for good
listen i can fight your demons
cause id have to fight you
cause there so far inside you
and i just cant seem to get through
it aint none of my business
it aint none of my place
yah but i still had to try
singing mona
you know you gonna
on the street corner
i should have warned you
all of the boys and
all of their poisen
as they make there way
ya to san jose now
oh now i think ive lost you
cant reach you no more
cause your high as i kite
and im down here on the floor
yah im begging you to come back
now you cant even hear that
you just floated away
oh yah its such a shame
cause i remember the day
when we use to play
on your mothers front lawn
singing those old songs
not a care in the world

all of the boys and
all of their poisen
as they make there way
