[Verse]
E D A E
Stake my future on a hell of a past
E D A E
Looks like tomorrow is a coming on fast
E D A E
Ain't complaining about what I got
E D A E
Seen better times but who has not
[Chorus]
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 2]
E D A E
Honest as the next jade rolling that stone
E D A E
When I come a knockin' don't throw me no bone
E D A E
I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home
E D A E
If you don't like it you can leave me alone
[Verse 3]
E D A E
I can snap my fingers and require the rain
E D A E
From a clear blue sky and turn it off again
E D A E
I can stroke your body and relieve your pain
E D A E
And charm the whistle off an evening train
[Chorus]
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Find out something only dead men know
[Verse 4]
E D A E
Give what I got until I got no more
E D A E
I take what I get until I even the score
E D A E
You know I love you and further more
E D A E
When it is time to go you got an open door
[Verse 5]
E D A E
I can tell your fancy I can tell your plain
E D A E
You give something up for ev'rything you gain
E D A E
Since ev'ry pleasure's got an edge of pain
E D A E
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
[Verse 6]
E D A E
One of these days and it won't be long
E D A E
Going down the valley and sing my song
E D A E
I will sing it loud and sing it strong
E D A E
Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
[Chorus]
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
E D A E
Silvio I gotta go
E D A E
Find out something only dead men know
