[Verse]
Well, I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
Well, I'm a little hot-wired, but I'm feeling alright
I got some money in my pocket and a long lean ride
I got to make it down to Galveston by Saturday night now

[Chorus]
Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling okay
Got a little lost along the way
I'm just around the corner to the light of day
Well, I'm just around the corner to the light of day

[Verse]
Been driving five hundred miles, got five hundred to go, yeah
I got rock-and-roll music on the radio
I got a brother on a rig just off the gulf coast
He says the girls down there, well they're really the most, man

[Chorus]
Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling okay
I got a little lost along the way
Just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
[Adlibs]

[Verse]
Well, I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo
Don't ask me what I'm doing, I don't know
I hope he wasn't joking when he wrote me that letter
Things can't get any worse, they got to get better

[Chorus]
I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling okay
I got a little lost along the way
I'm just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
Just around the corner to the light of day
I'm just around the corner
I'm just around the corner
I'm just around the corner
I'm just around the corner to the light of day
