Lisa likes brandy
and the way
it hits her lips
She's a rock 'n'
roll survivor
with pendulum hips
She's got deep
brown eyes
That've seen it all
Working at
a nightclub that
was called
The Avenue
The bar men used to
call her Little Lisa
Loney Tunes
She went on
almost anyone
From the hard time
living 'til
the Chelsea days
From when her hair
was sweet blonde
til the day it
turned gray
She said
L I F E G O E S O N
You've got
more than money
and sense
my friend
You've got heart
and you go in your
own way
L I F E G O E S O N
What you don't have
now will
come back again
You've got heart
and you go in
your own way
Some people wear
their history like
a map on their face
And Joey was
an artist just
living out of case
But his best word
was his
letters home
His standard works
of fiction about
imaginary success
The chorus girls
in neon were his
closest things
to friends
But to a writer
the truth is
no big deal
From the hard time
living to
the sleepless nights
And the black
and blue body from
the weekend fights
He'd say
L I F E G O E S O N
You've got
more than money
and sense
my friend
You've got heart
and you go in
your own way
L I F E G O E S O N
What you don't have
now will
come back again
You've got heart
and you go in
your own way
On my last night
on earth
I won't look to
the sky
Just breathe in
the air and blink
in the light
On my last night
on earth
I'll pay
a high price
To have no regrets
and be done
with my life
L I F E G O E S O N
You've got
more than money
and sense
my friend
You've got heart
and you go in
your own way
L I F E G O E S O N
What you don't have
now will
come back again
You've got heart
and you go in
your own way
L I F E G O E S O N
You ve got
more than money
and sense
my friend
You ve got heart
and you go in
your own way
L I F E G O E S O N
What you don t have
now will
come back again
You ve got heart
and you go in
your own way
