---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committed to Parkview - Highwaymen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard Artist: The Highwaymen Album: Highwayman Year: 1985 Theres a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor He thinks hes Hank Williams hear him singing through the door Theres a girl in 203 who stops by to visit me And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be There are lots of special people staying in or passing through And for one thing or another committed to Parkview Theres a girl in 307 coming down on thorazine And a superstars ex drummer trying to kick benzedrine Theres a boy just below me whos the son of some well known He was brought in by his mother because his daddys always gone Theres a bum from down on Broadway and a few quite well to dues Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview Theres a girl who cries above me loud enough to wake the dead They dont know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head Theres a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried They just brought him in this morning an attempted suicide There are those that never made it those that did but now are through Some came of their own good chosing some committed to Parkview They wake us about 6:30 just before the morning meal While theyre taking blood pressure they ask us how we feel And I always say fantastic there aint nothing wrong with me And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep The days are kind of foggy and the nights are dreamy too But they're taking good care of me committed to Parkview
