Kansas - Lonely Street video free download

Alrighty then, here it is, my first video in about 3 years! Guess you could call this a comeback. After reaching 500 subscribers just recently (thank you!), I felt the need to keep the promise I made long ago and create a new Kansas video. I hope you guys will enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!

Lyrics:

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street

Well, it sure don't seem like it's been twenty years

Since I went walking down this lonely street

And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air

This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river

And I lived where I hated life day by day

There wasn't nothing that I could do to shake a cold night shiver

'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say

Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street

And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore

You know I killed a man and I paid all I can

With twenty years on a chain gang

For the flesh and the blood on that jail house floor

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street

I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go

And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street

My mind rolls back the years a long time ago

I see my baby stumblin' 'round with tears in her eyes

And as I reach out for her, she falls on the floor

She mumbles through bloody lips about a black man, robber, raper

And in my gut I know I got one to score

I need somebody, oh oh yea

I need somebody, yea

And I need a, and I need a, eh ha

And I need a, yea ah

The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street

That the black man was a dead man if he crossed my trail

Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street

I get stinkin' drunk always in jail

One night they threw me in with a man they called, 'The Mangler'

He was caught on the street makin' some old whore

I remember he was quite proud of that

So half crazed I shot him

And I cried in the blood on that jail house floor

Oh I don't want no more

Oh yea, yea
