every time they thought they reached the place they had to be
it took about a week and it got old.
he told her once before that every round had ups and downs
she said "tell me somethin’ I don’t know"
but I'm havin’ a good time and I’m happy with what I got.
I don't spend too much time worrying about who I am not.

Chorus
everyone always wants to be somebody else
why cant they fend for themselves I don’t know
when one thing replaces another
then where does the other one go?
I don’t know.

ya know the other day
a friend of mine came by and said
"ya know man I think I’m gettin’ tired"
I said "no way man how can that be you could have fooled me
ya know that you are lookin’ pretty wired"
then he told me that he wore out his shoes
and that his thumb was tired from hitchin’
I told him he could walk away from his blues
as soon as he stopped bitchin’.

Chorus
