Virginia Ave by Tom Waits Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2015

Well, I'm walking down Virginia Avenue
I'm trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to
Harold's club is closing and everyone's going home
What's a poor sailor to do?
I guess I'll get back into my short make it back to the fort
Sleepin' off the crazy lizards inside of my brain
Got to be some place that's better than this
This life I'm leading's drivin' me insane and I'm dreamin'
And I'm dreamin' to the twilight 'coz this town has got me down
I've seen all the highlights I'm walkin' all around
I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus
Carry me away from here now what have I got to lose?
I'm just walkin' down Columbus Avenue
Bars are all closin', 'cause it's quarter a' two
Every town I go to is like a lock without a key
The blues I leave behind keep catchin' up on me
Catchin' up on me, they're catchin' up on me
Catchin' up on me, catchin' up on me, catchin' up on me
