Lyrics
Under The Overpass
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh the news will travel slowly
Over broken glass
And you?ve probably heard this story
Under the overpass
Got no time to weep for something
You?ll never get back
Are you feeling cold and lonely
Under the overpass
Hallelujah hallelujah
Under the overpass
Dingo cry in the middle of the night
Snakeskin crawl under desert sunlight
I wish and i hope
Someone?s there to drink from the soak
In the town where i hit the ground
In the town with the full nelson sound
Oh the news will travel slowly
Over broken glass
And you?ve probably heard this story
Under the overpass
Got no time to weep for something
You?ll never get back
Are you feeling sad and lonely
Under the overpass
Hallelujah hallelujah
Under the overpass
