Amtrak station, it’s goin’ on 10:45
Playin’ for dollars and for dimes
Makin the best of the worst time of my life
With my 6 string guitar, my blues harp and my rhymes
Don’t know what happened or when it all occurred
Thought things were goin’ just fine
Then she went out for cigarettes and I found her note
She said “sayonara baby, I sure had me a good time”
My babe took the southbound right about two weeks ago
Left me here feelin’ like a fool
Said she’s goin’ back where the weather fits her attitude
Hot steamy nights, with just the right touch of cool
Break
So I’ll play one more original, then I’ll call it quits
Get some Mad Dog 20/20 and a smoke
Drag my ass back to that dump down on 8th Avenue
And try to find some humor in this bad, bad joke
Yeah, she took the southbound right about two weeks ago
She left me here feelin’ like a fool
Said she’s goin’ back where the weather fits her attitude
Hot steamy nights, with just the right touch of cool
So, throw me a dollar, if you see me on the street
Or a fresh pack of Marlboro’s will do
And I’ll play you a collection of all my greatest almost-hits
Including my latest, called “Lost and Lonesome Blues”
Outro Break
Outro
Yes, I’m Lost…
and I’m Lonesome…
and I got the low-down, downtown
can’t get luck to come around…
blues….
