Intro: verse 1 Last night I took a walk downtown, met a friend of mine Sitting on a corner drinking wine Had a look about him, cold and underfed Looked at me and this is what he said One day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine In a better place and time One day verse 2 There's a girl I see sometimes, but in the days gone by She never had that lost look in her eye She never had that wedding ring, now she knows the score If you ask her what she's looking for, she'll tell you One day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine In a better place and time One day____ Instrumental verse 3 Last night I took a walk downtown, along the empty streets Saw the places where we used to meet Walked down to the station, closed some time ago But sometimes I still hear that whistle blow___ And one day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine And one day, I'll be out of this place, one step down the line One day, 'cause it's never too late, things will turn out fine In a better place and time One day Outro
