Justin Townes Earle - Rogers Park Lyrics

This town's dead tonight
I got no place to be
Moon is hung just right
Shine like diamonds on these streets

Redline wine and lonesome
It's cutting clean through my heart
In my window smoking
While the midnight's setting in on Rogers Park

I come here with hopes and
Guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone
I can't even get to sleep

So take my heart and break it in
Send me back to the pines
Tired of lying awake at night
Feels like I'm running outta time

See my dreams before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of Rogers Park

Some shallow boys out banging and I
Hear 'em down in the streets
The corner girls are waiting
For someone to take them all for keeps

There'll be no hope in leaving then
We ain't no prayer for the poor
And all that's lost in stealing
She can't hold me anymore

See my dream before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I, I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of Rogers Park
Oh through the lonely streets
Of Rogers Park
