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'
