Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the leaves are green
All my friends are gone
I'm livin' in my hometown
I can barely get along
I feel sorry for myself
That's a easy thing to do
Feel sorry for the world
I feel sorry for you
[Verse 2]
Yes, I am a pitiful sight
I can't even get one thing right
[Verse 3]
I know just what it's like
To be a rider ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes, I know just what it's like
To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat
[Verse 4]
Well, I could have a nervous breakdown
But I don't believe in shrinks
I should be drunker than a monkey
But I don't like to drink
Could call up some girls
But I'm afraid of the phone
I'm always talkin' to myself
I guess I'm never alone
[Verse 5]
Am I the only one that feels this way?
I'd buy myself some stylin' clothes
But I sure hate to pay
[Verse 6]
Know just what it's like
To be a rider ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes, I know just what it's like
To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat
Hey
[Verse 7]
Sun is comin' up
Just goin' to bed
I combed my hair with my pillow
Still got some dreams left
Tomorrow is a new day
Gonna make these dreams come true
I'm gonna believe in myself
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna stop puttin' myself down
I'm gonna turn my life around
[Verse 9]
I'll be ridin' high
With my feet kicked up in the rumbleseat
Yeah, we'll go for a drive
And we'll be singin' shotgun from that rumbleseat
Yes, I will blow you a kiss
And we'll be ridin' big time in that rumbleseat
[Verse 10]
Ay
