Any Time Soon

Tell me, mother, can you see

Lately what's come over me?

All I know is that suddenly

I've become bad company

Oh, where did he go?

Your wide-eyed son

I gave 'em all I got and now

I'm the lonely one

I guess it goes to show

Those streets of gold will leave you cold

And all I've sold

Is the same old tune

Yes, it goes to show

These words I write are to let you know

That I won't be home

Any time soon

Lucas Jones is lost at sea

Would someone send him home to me?

Others say he never quit

Just caught a cold and called in sick

As miracles go

He never asked for much

Gave 'em all he got and now

Now he's out of touch

I guess it goes to show

Those streets of gold will leave you cold

And all I've sold

Is the same old tune

Yes, it goes to show

These words I write are to let you know

That I won't be home

Any time soon

Any time soon

Any time soon

When I see you again (Any time, any time)

When I see you again (Any time, any time)

Mmm, and again (Any time, any time)

I guess it goes to show

These streets of gold will leave you cold

And all I've sold

Is the same old tune

Yes, it goes to show

These words I write are to let you know

That I won't be home

Any time soon

Any time

Any time soon
