A Fine Way To Go

(album: Billy Joe Thomas - 1972)

He makes love to her every night
And you know this ain't no lie
She makes love in the afternoon
With another guy
He comes in saying where ya been
She just look him in the eye
She says you can get everything you need
At the movie
It's a fine way to go
Living in someone else's shoes
For just a little while
It's a fine way to go
If anyone asks ya how you know
You just tell them I told you so
Well Sidewalk Joe he lives alone
And he waits till the sun goes down
So he can slip out on the streets
And go down to movietown
Well he sits on the side
Half alive
Hoping that when the lights go down
Ya know Old Joe really gets off at the movie
It's a fine way to go
Living in someone else's shoes
For just a little while
It's a fine way to go
If anyone asks ya how you know
You just tell them I told you so ohhh
It's a fine way to go
Living in someone else's shoes
For just a little while
It's a fine way to go
If anyone asks ya how you know
You just tell them I told you so ohhh
