Pirates of the Mississippi - Reed JakeLyrics

I'm standin' at the crossroads in life And i don't know where to go You know you've got my heart,babe But my music's got my soul Let me play it one more time Tell the truth and make it right And hope they understand me (CHORUS) Now i lay me down to sleep And pray the Lord my soul to keep If i die before i wake,feed Jake He's been a good dog My best friend right through it all If i die before i wake,feed Jake Now Broadway's like a sewer Bums and hookers everywhere Winos passed out on the sidewalk Doesn't anybody care? Some say "He's worthless,just let him be!" I for one would have to disagree And so would their Mama's (CHORUS) Now if you get an ear pierced Some will call you gay But if you drive a pick-up They'll say "No,you must be straight!" What we are and what we ain't What we can and what we cain't Does it really matter? (CHORUS) If i die before i wake,feed Jake If i die before i wake... Feed Jake
