Virginia Avenue |
| Well, I’m walking down Virginia Avenue |
| I’m trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to. |
| Harold’s club is closing, everybody’s going on home |
| What’s a poor sailor to do? |
| I guess I’ll get on back into my short, make it back to the fort |
| Sleepin off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain. |
| Got to be some place that’s better than this |
| This life I’m leading’s driving me insane |
| And I’m dreaming… |
| And I’m dreaming to the twilight, this town has got me down. |
| I’ve seen all the highlights, I’ve been walking all around |
| I won’t make a fuss, I’ll take a Greyhound bus, carry me away from here |
| Now what have I got to lose? |
| 'Cause I’m walking on down Columbus Avenue |
| The bars are all closing, 'cause it’s quarter a' two |
| Every town I go to is like a lock without a key |
| Those I leave behind are catching up on me, |
| catching up on me, they’re catching up on me |
| Catching up on me, catching up on me, catching up on me. |
