From the recording What Was It Worth

I try to follow the golden rule. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

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?
