Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Low down leavin' sun
I've done did everything that needs done
Woe is me, why can't I see
I'd best be leavin' well enough alone
[Verse 2]
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
Keep a-hauntin' me in memories
Well, there's one in every crowd, for cryin' out loud
Why was it always turnin' out to be me?
[Verse 3]
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, a-hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
Fore loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
[Verse 4]
Hey, hey
[Verse 5]
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down in Green Gables, a-hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all of my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues, I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For the loveable losers, and no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
[Verse 6]
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down in Green Gables, a-hawkin' them tables
And generally blowin' all of my hard-earned pay
Piano roll blues, I danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For them loveable losers, and no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
Yeah, woo!
