Heading down the road
Going nowhere...
Trying to get away
From my obsessions...
Tired of feeling like
I’m always out there...
Searching for the answers
To my questions...

Just a drunk
Wiping off my last hurl...
Down and out
Seeking just a warm bed...
All alone
Wishing for a nice girl...
With a bosom
On which to place my tired head...

Searching for
That promise of a new life...
Praying for relief
From my confessions...
Heading in the direction
Of going elsewhere...
Open to anyone’s good suggestions...

I’d like to find
A nice sober lady...
One who wants to share
My few possessions...
Heading down the road
Leading somewhere...
Hoping to make some big impressions...

Just a drunk
Diving for my last meal...
Down and out
Craving just a warm bed...
All alone
Seeking just a nice field...
With a bed of green grass
On which to place my tired head...
