I'm on my own, I'm all alone I sowed those seeds and now my harvest's home And I guess this party's over 'Cause I'm on my own My friends, they said 'so long' My days were full, my skies were blue Thought I got wise and I acted like a fool And all my nights, the morning after feeling like a fool I'm feeling black and blue With all them back street women, wooh All that homemade liquor's left me here Well, just like some old bottle that the tide has 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's heard it all before But if I can bum just one more wad I'd say 'so long, I'm going home' Well, last night the joint was jumping, yeah With all those smart ass gamblers and my booze Well, they must have seen me coming 'Cause these cradle marks they're pretty hard to lose This story's old, this heart is cold Well, this old trash can's seen it all before But if I can bum just one more wad I'd say 'so long, I'm going home' I'd say 'so long, from here I'm going home' I'd say 'so long, I guess I'm on my own' I'd say 'so long, this one's down the road'
