Gary Morris - Anything Goes lyrics

rate me

(Gary Morris - Eddie Setser)

There's a man on the street with a gun in his hand

And his back against the wall

He's got kids to feed

He doesn't know if he'll be able to steal at all.

Tomorrow he'll be front page news

You'll see it on TV

How a father of five was killed last night

Attempted robbery.

Chorus:

Anything goes

When everything's gone

When you lose all hope

There ain't no right or wrong

You can reach out

But you can't hold on

Anything goes

When everything's gone.

There's a lady I know who sells herself

At the Paradise Cafe

As a girl they called her Angel

But Angel drifted away.

Somewhere in time

She crossed the line

Where feelings are all gone

For a price she'll warm a strangers bed

With a heart that's cold as stone.

She cries

Anything goes

'Cause everything's gone

When you lose all hope

There ain't no right or wrong.

You can reach out

But you can't hold on

Anything goes

When everything's gone.

There's a world outside

That seldom sleeps

It's unknown to us all

Well they got guns

And we got guns

Who'll be the first to draw.

Up on high the powers lie

The numbers are so small

With one mistake all the dams will break

And then God help us all.

Chorus:

Cause if anything goes

Then everything's gone

When you lose all hope

There ain't no right or wrong

You can reach out

But you can't hold on

If anything goes

Then everything's gone...
