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.

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...
