I got woken up Late last night By a friend of his Said he left the lions lair With a bloody head And he could hardly walk and dissappeared My husband's asleep And my kids are in bed I'll leave a note and start driving Up and down Colfax avenue I stop at the alleys in liquor stoors And the bars they still let him into He wasn't like this before he left Now he comes back and his minds a wreck And the army what do they do My husband's worn out My kids are scared But he's my little brother And he's out there Somewhere Colfax avenue Up and down Colfax avenue Nights can be so long And it's so cold outside He's just a kid Who's seen too much He's just a kid Up and down Colfax avenue Up and down Colfax avenue
