Il testo della What a way to go

I met a man out on a bridge pier
He said he's gonna jump to save his soul
I said, "what's the world done to make you mad man?"
He said, "sit down, son, now here's the dope"

I can't find work 'cause i'm a blind man
I can't see but sometimes i can see the light
Now is my life a labor of love or is my life a love of labor?
I still got a hollow feeling in my life

What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go

I met this girl, her name escapes me
Said, "son, i'd love you to be my man"
She wrote her name out on a dollar
I spent that dollar on a shot of gin
Spent it on a shot of gin

I talked him down and then i walked off
I turned around and he was gone himself
A mile down the road, it came upon me
It was me i talked off that ledge
It was me i talked off that ledge
It was me i talked off that ledge

What a way to go
What a way to go
What a way to go
