Pull into December And turn another year It's snowin like a curtain comin down One day at a time, is moving awful slow But it looks as if the year has turned around They're open on the left, they're open on the right They're open every day, they are open every night Trying to keep the train movin down the track Tryin to keep the monkey off my back Now if you make a livin when other people fall I tell you there is money to be made If you're cashin' in on their devils and desires You got it made in the shade Jumpin' on the left, and jumpin' on the right They're ghoulish in their glee, they're nasty when they bite Trying to get my train movin down the track Tryin to keep the monkeys off my back Piece of heart, Peace of mind Baby ain't it hard to find Piece of heart Peace of mind Sure gave away a lot of mine Pull in to December like a curtain comin down Addin up and movin on Thinkin bout some friends Their beginnings and their ends Wonderin how everything has gone Some go to the grave some go to the pen Some go to a place I never want to go again
