Kid stepped don't stop he just looked around
Thumbed a ride that day sold his car
Sold his car on the edge of town
Never liked that thunderbird anyhow
But never had the nerve before to put it all down
He knows in his mind he's living on killing time
Yes he knows in his mind he's living on killing time
He knows in his mind he's living on killing time yeah
Well whistled softly 'tween his teeth spat a curse down at the street
Been raining hard again wheel rolled by splashed his feet
Noted the number right off
His eyes flickered up but gave no response
He knows in his mind he's living on killing time
He knows in his mind he's living on killing time oh
Checked the billboards and ads for vacancies
Find some work today wash dishes changing sheets
Loan him an apron or bell boy attire
Supply him and he will comply
He knows in his mind he's living on
He knows in his mind he's living on
He knows in his mind he's living on yeah
