Lyrics

Rain on my Sunday shoes Pick up the daily news Looks like tomorrow's blues But it's better than none Call on the telephone Knowin' that he's not home I'll put on the Rollin' Stones And I can have me some fun Start up a flight of stairs Stand up and comb your hair Try not to change things More than you can withstand Get into somethin' new That's made for a year or two Pick up the pieces Where you think they might land Every day goes Another day's gone Hate to say so but I'm gettin' older Day by day Take off all your clothes Stand up and wipe your nose Cry for your Daddy Who died so long ago Jump on another plane Today it's all the same You can catch me in Boston 'Cause that's how it goes I'm here in apartment 21 Stop by and have some fun Say, how ya doin' You old son of a gun? Look at a photograph Lord, don't it make you laugh All those changes What have we done? And I say, (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la Sit down and write a song Wait 'til the days grow long Wait for the autumn wind To blow me away (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la (La) La-la-la, (la) la-la-la, (la) la-la-la, la (la) La-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la
