Faded, jaded, fallen cowboy star

Pawn shops itching for your old guitar

Where you going? God only knows

On the rain whipped sidewalk, remembering the time

And everythings been Sold American

Been dreaming dreams in a roll away bed

Writing down your memoirs on a window in the frost

Roulette eyes reflecting on another morning lost

With the Singing Brakeman screaming through your veins

And everythings been Sold American

Everyones been Sold American

Don't let me catch you laughing when the jukebox cries

But I've seen the faded pictures of your children and your wife

Now they're fumbling through your wallet and they're trying to find your name

No place to go and brother no place to stay
