Lyrics
WHAT WAS IT WORTH
1st verse
casey jones was driving that train
he did some cocaine
ain't that a shame
he got lost and got a little
off track
it cost his mind
and he never came back
chorus
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but it's late
what was it worth?
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but in the end
what was it worth?
2nd verse
i had a friend in las vegas
she made a point of
losing her wages
she left town
i thought for good
only to return
to lose her shirt
chorus
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but it's late
what was it worth?
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but in the end
what was it worth?
3rd verse
my friend jim
he was a roadie
he missed his flight
and blamed me only
he was engaged
to a girl
now its over
in his whole world
outro
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but it's late
what was it worth?
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but it's late
what was it worth?
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but it's late
what was it worth?
i kept my promise
and kept my word
but in the end
what was it worth?
