I'm on my own, I'm all alone

I sow no seeds there now

My heart is home

And I guess this party is over because I'm on my own

My friends they say's hello

My dancer fool, my skies are blue

But I've got wise and acted like a fool

And the nights the morning after and I feel like a fool

I'm feeling black and blue

Well all them back street women, woooooooooh

All that homemade liquor has left me here

We're just like some old bottle the tide left washed up beneath the pier

There's a message in here somewhere

This story's old, this heart is cold

This old street corner has heard it all before

But if I can bum just one more one

I'll say so long, I'm going home

Well last night the joint was jumping, yeah

With all those small ass gamblers and the booze

They must have seen me coming because these cradle marks are pretty hard to lose

I bet years from now

This story is old, this heart is cold

Well this old trash can has seen it all before

But if I can bum just one more one

I'll say so long, I'm going home

I'll say so long from here, I'm going home

I'll say so long, I guess I'm on my own

I'll say so long, this one's down the road
