Living on Aloha Lyrics

Living on Aloha

I left Kulani prison at a quarter to nine

Made my way to Pahoa to see an old friend of mine

I'm fresh on the outside and looking for something to do

He said times are tough, you know it's rough, but you can spend a night or two

Nobody feels your pain when they're living their own

Nobody knows your name when you ain't got a home

But man, I've gotta try to make a stand, until then I'm

Living on Aloha, Living on Aloha again my friends

When you ain't got nothing well you take what you can get

Living on Aloha

Made it on to Ka'u to see a girl that I used to know

She's six months big with another man's gig and it hurts, but you can't show it

She set me up with some Kaukau, we talked of a happier day

She put ten dollars in my hand and said don't come back this way

Nobody feels your pain when they're living their own

Nobody knows your name when you ain't got a home

But man, I've gotta try to make a stand, until then I'm

Living on Aloha, Living on Aloha again my friends

When you ain't got nothing well you take what you can get

Living on Aloha

I hitched it up to Kona, I was feeling kind of sad

Never knew what I was gonna do, but one day I saw this ad

Now I'm selling time shares, right there by the pier

I can smile away, talk story all day for a hundred "K" a year

Nobody sees your pain when they're living their own

Nobody knows your name when they're so far from home

But man, you do what you can, I'm making my stand and I'm

Living on Aloha, Living on Aloha again my friends

You walk the path and you take the wrath and whatever you can get

Living on Aloha

Living on Aloha...living on Aloha
