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