The Beat

I saw the eyes on an old friend
Standing out in the crowd
And I wondered, that ego
Has it stuck around?
Like a cop on the beat
He would go all in
And if the mood is right
Take a mighty swing
They wanna feed on my heartache
And throw me over the wire
If I can keep you, honey
Everything be just fine
Saw a man on the street today
Took me back
I couldn’t get my car to start
Fast enough
Saw a ghost in the heat today
Dressed in black
I couldn’t get-get far away
Fast enough
Saw a man on the street today
Took me back
I couldn’t get my car to start
Fast enough
Saw a ghost in the heat today
Dressed in black
I couldn’t get-get far away
Fast enough
I tried to make it from the border
Back down through the heat
I tried to make it from the border
Back down to the street
