Grand Central Station March 18, 1977 Lyrics

.Grand Central Station wheels and it deals,
The crowds rush and scramble,
Round past the newsstands and out across the floors

And I did some singing,
And I played guitar, down near a doorway,
Howling out words and banging out chords.

Well, think what you will,
Laugh if you like, it don't make no difference to me.
I'll open my case, and I might catch a coin,
But all ears may listen for free

Big clocks were tickin', trains came and went, ]sad, ragged figures
]limped in the hallways and dug through the trash

While old folks and young folks, passed in a flood, on dashing somewhere,
Wrapped in their lives and gone in a flash

Well, a man came a talkin',
He stopped where I stood. He warned me so gravely,
'The cops here'll nab ya,
Boy and they'll ]take ya right on down,' yes, but
I took my]chances, and luck saw me through, I s]tayed until I'd finis]ed,
Played what I pleased and poured out my sound
