28 (Live)

[Verse 1]

Jim Morrison, Miami County Prison

Looking out the window at the barbed wire fence

Singing “this ain’t for me, this rock n’ roll scene

I should be writing poetry, on a farm out in France”

[Chorus 1]

“Cause I can’t see through the darkness, I can’t feel no pain

Seems you lose your spark, when you achieve your fame

And I could start it all over, I could escape

If I could only make it to twenty eight, if I could only make it to twenty eight”

Oooooo

[Verse 2]

Yes and Janis Joplin, one foot in the coffin

Left that theater rocking, and she walked on out the door

She put her head in her hands, she said, “I’ve given all I can

I drain myself for these fans, I ain’t never been this dry before”

[Chorus 2]

“I’m gonna move out of this Chelsea Hotel, stop drinking all the time

Stop blowin’ Leonard Cohen, and listening to him whine

Because I know that I am beautiful, I will prove it someday

If I could only make it to twenty eight, if I could only make it to twenty eight”

Ooooo

[Verse 3]

Yes and Kurt Cobain, sat in his shed in the rain

Stomach full of pain, eyes growing dark

He said “I am losing control, oughta move down to San Francisco

Light candles at all of my shows and switch to acoustic guitars”

[Chorus 3]

“Because this world it don’t need no more tension and hate

It needs a reason for these kids to stand up and create

And I could pull this trigger or I could just walk away

If I could only make it to twenty eight, if I could only make it to twenty eight”

[Outro]

"If I could only make it

If I could only make it"
