"Blackjack And Me" lyrics

I was dead, on my feet
From too much of this and that
I was shot, in the street
Crying like an alley cat

Somewhere out in the shadows, Blackjack's sniffing around
He kicked my head to bring me back from the dead
And pick me up off the ground

I was gone, to the dogs
Nothin' but skin and bone
I was lost, in a fog
With no one to call my own

Somewhere out in the shadows, Blackjack's sniffing around
Day and night he's gonna put you right
And pick you up off of the ground

We're livin' on a deadline
With a bottle of misery
But we're gonna hit the headlines
Blackjack and me

I was mad, confused
Wastin' time
I was sick of bein' used
Always the last in line
When my mind was burnin'
Blackjack cooled me down
Day and night he's gonna put you right
And pick you up off of the ground

(Livin' on a deadline)
Livin' on a deadline
With a bottle of misery
(But we're gonna hit the headlines)
But we're gonna hit the headlines
Blackjack and me

We're livin' on a deadline
With a bottle of misery
We're gonna hit the headlines
Blackjack and me
