Goin' Down To Laurel

(アルバム： Alive On Arrival - 1978)

Well, everybody here
Seems to like to laugh
Look at Johnny jiving across the floor
He can play the fool and make a few mistakes
But all the same he'll never be a bore

I'm glad to be so young
Talking with my tongue
Glad to be so careless in my way
Glad to take a chance and play against the odds
Glad to be so crazy in my day

Well, I'm going down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinking town, yeah
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find
Little girl I'm going to see
She is a fool for loving me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Well, what was that you said when you had a tear
Rolling down your cheek the other night
I couldn't catch it all there's something going wrong
I hope you got it straightened out alright

Everything's so loud and everything's so fast
I hear your brother married once again
Yeah, best of luck and all and try to have some fun
They tell me this great life can always end

Well, I'm going down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinking town, yeah
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find
Little girl I'm going to see
She is a fool for loving me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Yea, yes it is

I'm smiling from a car
I'm going for a drive
Feel the whistle blowing breeze gone flying by
Mirrors on the moon
Echoing the sun
See just a touch of madness in my eye

Please don't mention rain
Please don't talk of trains
Please don't mention buildings burning down
Everybody here seems to like to laugh
Either step in time or just don't hang around

Well... I'm going down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinking town, yeah
But me I know exactly what I'm going to find
Little girl I'm going to see
She is a fool for loving me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind
Oh, tell me what I'm saying now
She's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Yeah
