Lyrics:

  • 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
