Can't Seem To Get Nowhere

(album: Me And McDill - 1977)

Here I am a living fast, smoking Lucky's and talking trash
Hanging out on a barroom stool acting 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 rocking 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
Talking big and wasting time I tell the girls I'm twenty-nine
But lately I think it shows I'm getting old.

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life's a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can't seem to get nowhere.

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life's a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can't seem to get nowhere...

Here I am a living fast, smoking Lucky's and talking trash
Hanging out on a barroom stool acting 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...
