Well, I'm walking down Virginia Avenue
|
I'm trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to.
|
Harold's club is closing, everybody's going on home
|
What's a poor sailor to do?
|
|
I guess I'll get on back into my short, make it back to the fort
|
Sleepin off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain.
|
got to be some place that's better than this
|
This life I'm leading's driving me insane
|
|
And I'm dreaming...
|
|
And I'm dreaming to the twilight, this town has got me down.
|
I've seen all the highlights, I've been walking all around
|
I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus, carry me away from here
|
Now what have I got to lose?
|
|
'Cause I'm walking on down Columbus Avenue
|
The bars are all closing, 'cause it's quarter a' two
|
Every town I go to is like a lock without a key
|
Those I leave behind are catching up on me,
|
catching up on me, they're catching up on me
|
Catching up on me, catching up on me, catching up on me.
