I'm on my own, I'm all alone
I sowed those seeds and now my harvest's home
And I guess this party's over 'cause I'm on my own
My friends they said "so long"

My days were full, my skies were blue
But I got wise and I acted like a fool
And now my night's the morning after feeling like a fool
I'm feeling black and blue

Well, all them back street women, whoo
All that homemade liquor's left me here
Well, just like some old bottle that the tide has left
Washed up beneath the pier
(There's a message in here ... somewhere)

This story's old, this heart is cold
This old street corner's heard it all before
But if I can bum just one more wad
I'll say so long, you hear, I'm going home

[Solo]

Well, last night the joint was jumping
With all those smart-ass gamblers in my booze
Well, they must have seen me coming
Cause these cradle marks, they're pretty hard to lose
(I bet you used right now)
This story's old, this heart is cold
This old trash can's seen it all before
But if I can bum just one more wad
I'll say so long, you hear, I'm going home
I'll say so long, you hear, I'm going home
I'll say so long, I guess I'm on my own
I'll say so long, there's one down the road
