I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I cautiously raised my trembling hands to shoulder leve...

Life on the streets gave hard-edged Travis this kind of love for the economy. Nothing obscene, mind you, it was just the feeling of his pockets, fat with dollar bills, that let him sleep like a baby on pills. Unfortunate for him, they never saw obesity.
