Well, I'm walking down Virginia Ave - nue,
Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to
Harold's club is closing and everybodys going on home
What's a poor boy to do??
I'll just get back into my short, make it back to the fort,
Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain
there's got to be some place that's better than this,
this life I'm leading is driving me insane
and let me tell you im dreaming
let me tell you that 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, tell me, what have I got to lose??
cause I'm walking on down Columbus Ave - nue
The bars are all closing cause it's quarter to two
every town I go to is like a lock without a key
the blues i leave behind is catching up on me
let me tell you they're catching up on me
they're catching up on me, catching up on me
catching up on me, catching up on me
