Who - A Legal Matter lyrics

It's a late cool autumn evening

And the sunset melts into night

With a v-twin throbbing beneath me

And my head's spinning allright

Ritchie and me we started as kids

In a rock 'n' roll band on the street where we lived

It's a long hard ride till the morning

As the trees and wind start to sing

Chains around your heart that bind

Break away and leave them behind

Well once there was a time in this rock 'n' roll dream

This here town would be rip apart at the seams

Now I'm out of money and Billy's out of work

Eddie's pushin' pencils for the county clerk

Everybody's job is getting pushed out of town

Life is just knockin' 'em down

Boyhood dreams are run into the ground

Long dark shadows hang over this town

Cast away the chains that bleed

Break away and I leave you free

Take my hand come leave with me

As nighttime fades away

we'll ride the hills and desert sand

Cross the barren land

All the families have all gone

Their jobs went before them I'm sure

They knocked down the corner barber shop

And put up a super triple level parking lot

There once was a time you could vote for a man

Who wouldn't try and stick a gun in your hands

So cut out all your talkin'

And make love with me through the night

Chains around your heart that bind

Break away and leave them behind

Just leave them behind

Just leave them behind
