Janis worked the late shift in an all night
coffee house down by the 23 east
Had high hopes of being a movie star
till she married a merchant marine
under her hat where the silver screen dreams
are a hounting memory
is a too true story of hard luck faith struck by reality
if you wanna find some you got to try some more
what world you die for
when you're faded if you got a life
open your eyes before your faded
Arnie was a hitter for twin valley little league
signed up in the summer of '73
Had big dreams of winnin the new world series
till daddy went away on permanent leave
behind the sweat and frustrated times
the fight to make ends meet
is that age old story of what it takes
the right time at the right place
If you wanna find some you got to try some more
what would you die for when you're faded
If you got a life then open your eyes before
you are faded
If you wanna find some you got to try some more
what would you die for when you're jaded
if you got a life then
open your eyes before your faded
