lyrics

THE WORLD'S TIP JAR words & music: bill mallonee
Now, darlin' we've gone down that path a thousand times
there is no treasure buried in those woods
you deserved better, there's no denying
honey, i'd make it up to you if i could
i fell in love with you in the worst kinda way
these things happen if you know what I mean
sure, there are sinners
and maybe there's some saints
but I mostly I think all of us
are just stuck in between

chorus:
in~between....and hangin' in thin air
In~between....and all threadbare

Darlin', let's you & me pick up that ragged little thread
and spin us something more lasting than gold
the kind that guards shakey little hearts
against the dark...and against the cold
and don't forget to glance up at the stars
at the moon, at the neon in the bars
pick up your change and put it in the world's tip jar
