And from a tiny river town you cameWith mamma's rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy's brainsBut the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nailWith the way they rigged this game, you had to failBut that's all behind you now, boyAnd from a tiny river town you cameWith nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an aceThey drug you through that slaughterhouse at willYou were the soldier without a killYou were the soldier without a killOh, who's gonna save your soul?Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
And from a tiny river town you came
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
But paradise took you out and left the bill
You were the healer without the thrill
You were the ecstasy without the pill
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
And from a tiny river town you came
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
These desert nights are for weathered men
The ones who've already given in
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Now that you've given in
Now that you've given in
Now that you've given in
