Second Hand Store

(album: But Seriously Folks... - 1978)

You lost your color when you painted the town
Painting by the numbers
You headed for the lobby, but you never came down
Is it any wonder?
You wind up sitting in a second hand store
On display in a window
Wind up sitting in the bottom of a drawer
Any way the wind blows

So you burned your bridges and headed downstream
Never know until you try
Spent your fortune on a river boat queen
Then the river ran dry
You end up sitting on a sand bar
Down to a handful of treasures
'Nother shot of gold won't get you very far
When you got forever

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind .....

So you keep on following directions until
Pretty soon you're past it
Guess you shoulda known better, and still
It was fun while it lasted
You end up sitting in a second hand store
On display in a window
Wind up sitting in the bottom of a drawer

Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
Any way the wind blows
