oh the news will travel slowly

over broken glass

and I'll bet you've heard that story

under the overpass

got no time to weep for something

you?ll never get back

if your feeling cold and lonely

under the overpass

hallelujah hallelujah

under the overpass

dingo cry in the middle of the night

snakeskin crawl under desert sunlight

I wish and I hope

someone's there to drink from the soak

in the town where I hit the ground

its the town with the full nelson sound

yea the news will travel slowly

over broken glass

time and again your gonna hear that story

under the overpass

got no time to weep for something

you can never get back

if your feeling cold and lonely

under the overpass

you can never get back

if your feeling sad and lonely

under the overpass

hallelujah (repeated in various forms)

under the overpass

under the overpass
