Round the Bend
Lyrics
Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign
Two full quarters saying don't come 'round here with your listening dime
I know there's better ways for me to get home
Lately I ain't been doing so good. I've been on my own
I'm a grown man, got no control
I got a dollar, I bet you I could turn it into five
I might take you out to dinner later on tonight
Every time I get on the road
There's always something there to push me down in the hole
Grown man, bless my soul
You know it's hard to explain
There's things a man's gotta learn to contain
Sweet now it just ain't the same
And your momma's only boy, your daddy's only shame
Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign
Calling my baby saying take me back one more time
Oh, take me back
Take me back, babe
