scars and bars and a no tell motel
black and white cars pulling over backstreet bombshells
A jack knife operation crying out loud
walking in a deadman's shoes then take the next train out
step outside get up off of your knees
american beauty
step out of line, baby you got to say please
american beauty
no place to run
get right back to where you started from
standing in the shadows it happened way to fast
two desperados fighting in the broken glass
Push comes to shove in a california minute
Blood on the tracks, you'll never look back, she ain't dead yet
step outside get up off of your knees
american beauty
get out of line, baby you got to say please
american beauty
no place to run
get right back to where you started from
scars and bars and a no tell motel
black and white cars pulling over backstreet bombshells
A different education A dollar everyday
Give them all a happy ending and set them on their way
Step outside get up off of your knees
american beauty
Get out of line, baby you got to say please
Get out of line, get up off of your knees american beauty
no place to run
get right back to where you started from
