(album: Rough Mix - 1977)

I'm on my own, I'm all alone
I sowed those seeds and now
My heart is home
And I guess this party's over 'cause I'm on my own
My friends, they've said so long
My days were full, my skies were blue
Then 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, wooh
All that homemade liquor has left me here
Well just like some old bottle 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 has heard it all before
But if I can bum just one more run
I'll say so long, ya hear, I'm going home

Well last night the joint was jumping, yeah
With all those smartass gamblers and my booze
They must have seen me coming 'cause these cradle marks are pretty hard to lose
I bet years from now

This story is old, this heart is cold
Well this old trash can has seen it all before
But if I can bum just one more run
I'll say so long, I'm going home
I'll say so long from here, I'm going home
I'll say so long, I guess I'm on my own
I'll say so long, this one's down the road
