Walking down the lonesome
city sidewalks
On my way to one more cheap hotel
Saw an old man lying broken
in the gutter
Knowing no one even noticed when he fell
Livin' here's a lonesome way of dyin'
The more I've looked for love,
the less I've found
I've already stayed too long,
I'm gonna get myself some gum
Catch the first thing movin'
toward the next thing hittin'
For the last thing leavin' town
Younger sits a girl who's kinda pretty
Tryin' to pretend she's
not ashamed
Sadly smilin' at the strangers in the city
One more lonely face without a name
Livin' here's a lonesome way of dying
The more I've looked for love,
the less I've found
I've already stayed too long,
I'm gonna get myself some gum
Catch a first thing movin' don't catch
things leavin' for the last thing
I have seen the city of sunshine and its shadows
I've heard its wailing sirens and its songs
I know there's something
somewhere I kept missing
But I've seen enough to
know I don't
Cause living here's a
lonesome way of dying
The more I've looked for love,
the less I've
found I've already stayed too long,
I'm only getting
myself some gum
That's first thing moving
toward next thing
heading toward last thing leaving town
you
