Sacramento's half the city since you took that job two states awayI count the days as I wait these tables trying to save the fund to come and stayAnd the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if I triedIt's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.Old Mr Linden passed on his warmest regards from the window seatSince his good wife took leave of this life he ain't half the man he use to beAnd the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if he triedAnd the stars up the skies may as well burn out if you ain't by my sideOh Marianne, Marianne wait for meOne day I will be your king and you will be my queenRemember Joe, well they let him go down at the saw mill on the edge of townThey say that pride can cost a man his life, well Joes taken to drinking nowAnd the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if they triedIt's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for meOne day I will be your king and you will be my queenThe orange groves that line these roads ain't gonna offer me no sympathyThe kids have grown and they miss you so, while you've been out there making historyAnd the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if we triedIt's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for meOne day I will be your king and you will be my queen From Letras Mania
