american roulette
robbie robertson
he was born in the belly of the country
confused by the big city blues
he didn't know whose life he's leading
put yourself behind the wheel
and see if you can get that feel
the windows were all shattered
and the body was all battered
take that boy and put him in a mansion
give him all the women that he wants
all of your so called friends
take you where the sidewalk ends
lord please save his soul
he was the king of rock and roll
they said she didn't have a chance in hell
there's a thousand young blondes out there
trying to make it to the silver screen
too much for her to handle
say a prayer for the lost generation
who spin the wheel out of desperation
