[Intro] (Verse 1) At the roadside bar the line's always long But we wait in silence to our sad song Each of us in turn Gets the saddest smile Getting old on the death row The death row (Chorus) Once upon a time Life was joy, coffee and cake Now we just watch our empty glass And our dreams turned into a heartbreak Wailing and waiting to die On the death row The death row (Verse 2) Day and night on this damned road With my heavy load of shattered dreams One more shot to have the shame go away For a moment, it helps to keep the pain at bay Getting closer to my maker With every drink and day On this death row The death row (Harmonica solo) (Verse 3) There was a time me too could feel some joy Now I am just a lonesome boy With a heavy heart and a sad man's face Soon this maze turns into a blurred haze Getting closer to my maker With every drink and day On this death row The death row [Guitar solo] (Chorus) Once upon a time Life was joy, coffee and cake Now we just watch our empty glass And our dreams turned into a heartbreak Wailing and waiting to die On the death row The death row (Outro) Now I just ride on this death row My only companion this heavy load Of shattered dreams and life full of shame Every day is misery and all the same So gimme one more drink To ease the pain [End] On this death row The death row The death row
