I been trapped inside four walls, feel like I can't call to no one
Ah, way out on the outside
Well livin' alone is easy, but too long just don't seem really
Quite the thing to do, no
Think I'll drink up a little more wine, to ease my worried mind
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind
The landlord is on my line, I can't get no peace of mind
But I know there's something better
I can't stay and I can't run, can't keep waitin' for someone
To find and go roll
Well I'll gather up all my four leaf clovers
Don't leave, I'm on my way over
A walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind
And I feel I have to scream
Whenever I get the notion
And though I try so hard
I can't hold back my emotions
But i... love you, but I can't have ya. won't you sit by my side
You don't work, the man don't pay ya
There ain't no saint to come and save ya, oh, puttin' your toll down
Well, if you ride you pay the fare... with satan on your back
And he don't care where you come from or where you goin'.\
And before I get myself all down, I jump up and kick the door down
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind
