I Never Thought

I never thought I'd wind up in a lousy little place like this

There's a girl with green teeth and she's gettin' kinda hard to resist

There's a shot for me sittin' on the stage

And tonight I'm feelin' my age

I never thought I'd wind up in a lousy little place like this

I never thought I'd play on a tiny little stage like this

I got good songs and I can't figure why they ain't hits

I could get to first base on my looks

If I could stand on telephone books

I never thought I'd play on a tiny little stage like this

I always thought I'd hitch up with a real pretty gal like you

But I wound up with a shrew and she's always tellin' me what to do

I'd like to ask you for a date

But I can't afford to get home late

I guess I'll never wind up with a real pretty gal like you

I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this

Every time we take a bow the audience starts to hiss

I'd quit the band if I had the nerve

But I guess I'm gettin' what I deserve

I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this

I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this

No, I never thought I'd wind up in a crappy little band like this
