Song Lyrics

Low down leaving sun

Done did everything that needs done

Woe is me, why can`t i see

I`D best be leaving well enough alone

Them neon LIGHT nights, couldn`t stay out of fights

keep a-huanting me IN memories

There`s one in every crowd, for crying out loud

Why was it always turning out TO be me

Chorus:

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows

seems like it was just the other day

I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables

And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes

There weren`t another other way to be

For loveable losers, no ACCOUNT boozers

And honky tonk heroes like me

Hey Hey

[ Guitar - Harmonica ]
