lyrics

I could use a song, a pretty love song/ To take me back to you and the life that we knew/ Visit places long gone/ I could use a song/ I could use some cash, cold hard cash/ Make it dirty, make it clean, as long as it’s green/ I’d rise from the ash if I had some cash

I could use a knife, a razor sharp knife/ To cut out the anguish, the fear and the strife/And get back my life/ I could use a knife

I could use a friend, just one true friend/ The kind that won’t judge me for where I’ve been or thoughts in my head/ I could really use a friend/ And we could share a smoke, a nice long toke/ Though I’ve long since quit, I must admit if I wasn’t so broke, I’d finance a smoke

Yeah, I could use some joy, some peace and some joy and some love and some hope at the end of my rope/ When I was a boy, I found some joy

I could use a prayer, a sincere, humble prayer/ Speak right out loud to whoever might hear/ Not sure if I dare/ I could use a prayer/ I’d pray for a dog, a well-trained loyal dog/ One I can groom, he’ll hit the lights and check the rooms when I’m stuck in this fog/ Wish I had a dog

I could use a ride, a bullet-proof ride to take me far away from this war I still fight/Now it’s only in mind/ Still I could use ride

I could use a song, a pretty love song/ To take me back to you and the life that we knew/ Visit places long gone/ I could use a song
