Lyric Can t Seem to Get Nowhere

(Bob McDill)

Here I am a livin fast, smokin Lucky s and talkin trash
Hangin out on a barroom stool actin like a fool
Out of work and out of luck stay out late and I drink too much
You see my face all over town I ought to settle down.

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life s a mess
Just like a rockin chair
I can t seem to get nowhere.

All my friends are married now guess I missed the boat somehow
They all moved away last year but I m still here
Talkin big and wastin time I tell the girls I m twenty-nine
But lately I think it shows I m gettin old.

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life s a mess
Just like a rockin chair
I can t seem to get nowhere.

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life s a mess
Just like a rockin chair
I can t seem to get nowhere...

Here I am a livin fast, smokin Lucky s and talkin trash
Hangin out on a barroom stool actin like a fool
Out of work and out of luck stay out late and I drink too much
You see my face all over town I ought to settle down...
