Manhattan - Bob Seger
Shakey davey's got a twelve gauge in his hand
20
It's sawed off to the limit
1a
He's got a vague plan
29
There's this liquor store on madison
32
There's another one down on washington square
2c
He's pretty sure no one's ever seen him
16
Down around there

41
The first one's birdshot the next four are double aught buck
2d
The last one's a slug just for good luck
25
He's got his works in his pocket
2b
He wants to score as soon as he's done
33
He can't wait to get straight to get long gone
5
38
He puts on his long coat scribbles off a short note
37
Sits himself down and waits for the sun to go down
5
55
It's right around midnight and there's still too damn many people on this street
55
He's walked all the way from battery park he's got sweaty hands and burnin' feet
1d
He's desperate for a fix
31
His body's screamin' "get me high"
30
He bursts through the door and lets one fly

32
Sunrise in the park and davey's cold as stone
35
He got some bad merchandise and he was all alone
3d
Two more unsolved mysteries a iot of paper pushed around
39
Most folks are just wakin' up in this great big town
