Sleep like a baby My little lady Dream tell the sunrise Creeps into your eyes, dream tell the sunrise turns on the day
In the avenues and alleyways While you sleep there's a whole world comin alive Abel and his brother fight with one another In and out of every dive The avenues and alleyways Where the strong and the quick alone can survive Look around the jungle See the rough and tumble Listen to a squealer cry Then a little later in the morning paper Read about the way he died
Wake up my pretty Go to the city Stay through the daytime Safe in the sunshine Stay till the daytime turns into night
In the avenues and alleyways Where a man's gotta work out which side he's on Anyway he chooses Chances are he looses No one gets to live too long
The avenues and alleyways Where the soul of a man is easy to buy Everybody's wheelin' Everybody's dealin' All the low and living hyde Every city's got 'em can we ever stop em Some of us Have gotta try
In Reno town for a few dollars down you can buy yourself a separation. And say good-bye to the love and the life that we shared together. Sign it away with a stroke of a hotel pen. All of the dreams that we had will be gone forever
I can't believe we're through
I won't give up on you.
How can I stand aside and watch a good love die ? Don't go down to Reno
stay another night. One night and you may find
I'll make you change your mind
don't go down to Reno stay a little bit longer.
Try to remember the day when the bells were chimin' picture the clothes that I wore and I know you'll smile. Think of the nights when we knew that our star was climbin' I can't throw that away
There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared, that went unchecked Until it died in his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself, it's easy to pretend He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire
Another day, a lonely day So much to say that goes unspoken And through the night, his sleepless nights His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself it's easy to pretend She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying Solitaireee And by himself it's easy to pretend He'll never love again Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire Solitaire, solitaire

Sun rise this is the last day that I'll ever see out in the court-yard they're ready for me but I go to my Lord without fear 'cos I did what I did for Maria.
As I rode into town with the sun going down all the windows were barred there was noone around for they knew that I'd come with my hand on my gun and revenge in my heart for Maria my dearest departed Maria.
Take an eye for an eye and a life for a life and somebody must die for the death of my wife yes I did what I did for Maria I did what I did for Maria.
Laughter echoed across for the end of the street there was the man I was burnin' to meet and my mind was so calm and so clear. as I took my revenge for Maria.
And he fell to the ground raisin' dust all around but I knew he was dead long before he went down it was quick it was clean made it easy on him which is more than he did for Maria. When he did what he did for Maria.
