Verse One
For the night stalking bandit with blood in his eyes
For the homeless man too drunk to recognize
For the fallen prophet who didn’t take his own advice
For the mercy seller who now must pay the price
For the cocaine cowboys with their million dollar smiles
For all the promises never kept
For all the walk-behinders going out of style
This is for the one that can’t help himself

Verse Two
For all the hellhounds barking at a chance
For the death row inmate waiting for an advance
For the wingless angels who never got to dance
For the innocent man guilty by circumstance
For the Dixieland poets with their words lost in their drinks
For the misguided misfortunate few
For all the load pullers running out of strength
This is for anyone with the blues

Chorus
I’m justified somewhere deep in the melody
I’m satisfied down here living in this harmony

Verse Three
For the three day warriors in need of some rest
For the lost innocence that was minimal at best
For all the times you had to measure success
For every wrong turn that just wound up in a mess
For every ten years you’d like to have back
For every time you was running late
For all the times the rope ran out of slack
For every time you took the bait

Chorus
I’m justified somewhere deep in the melody
I’m satisfied down here living in this harmony

Bridge
For all the souls lost all through the night
For every candle that still burns a light
Looking for a place that lays in between
The reality at midnight and the sunrise extremes

Verse Four
For the self-built prisons and all the lost keys
For the hopeless situation that will always be
For all the time it took your blind eyes to see
All the images shrouded in mystery
In the heat of the night when your worlds all collide
Nobody left to blame but yourself
When the time comes, you finally must decide
If it’s you you’re living for or somebody else

Chorus
I’m justified somewhere deep in the melody
I’m satisfied down here living in this harmony

Chorus
I’m justified somewhere deep in the melody
I’m satisfied down here living in this harmony
