Well everybody here,
Seems to like to laugh,
Look at Johnny jivin' across the floor,
He can play the fool and make a few mistakes,
But all the same he'll never be a bore.
I'm glad to be so young,
Talkin' with my tongue,
Glad to be so careless in my way,
Glad to take a chance and play against the odds,
Glad to be so crazy in my day.
Well I'm goin' down to Laurel,
It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah,
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find.
Little girl I'm goin' to see,
She is a fool for lovin' me,
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind.
Well what was that you said when you had a tear,
Rolling down your cheek the other night,
I couldn't catch it all there's something going wrong,
I hope you got it straightened out alright.
Everything's so loud and everything's so fast,
I hear your brother married once again,
Yeah, best of luck and all and try to have some fun,
They tell me this great life can always end.
Well I'm goin' down to Laurel,
It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah,
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find.
Little girl I'm goin' to see,
She is a fool for lovin' me,
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind.
Yea, yes it is.
[Instrumental Bridge]
I'm smilin' from a car;
I'm goin' for a drive,
Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone flying by,
Mirrors on the moon,
Echoing the sun,
See just a touch of madness in my eye.
Please don't mention rain;
Please don't talk of trains,
Please don't mention buildings burning down,
Everybody here seems to like to laugh,
Either step in time or just don't hang around.
Well… I'm goin' down to Laurel,
It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah,
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find.
Little girl I'm goin' to see,
She is a fool for lovin' me,
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind.
Oh, tell me what I'm sayin' now,
She's in love and love's a funny state of mind.
[Harmonica and Instrumental Outro]
