Go It Alone Songtext
von Beck

I′m coming over
See me down at the station by the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin' all the cares in the whole world

When I get older
Climbing up on the back porch fence
Just to see the dogs runnin′
With a ring and a question
And my shivering voice is singing
Through a crack in the window

Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na


Down on the corner
See me standing on a makeshift home
With a dust storm comin' (na, na-na na-na na)
In a long black shadow
Pull a hammer from a coal mine
Down where your daddy was workin'

Comb my hair back
Strike a match on the bathroom wall
Where my number is written
Driving on the sidewalk
Lookin′ back at the sky
It′s burning in my rear-view mirror

Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na

I'm coming over
See you down at the station by the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin
That I stole from a fountain
That was drownin′ all the cares in the whole world


When I get older
Climbing up on the back fence
Running with the dogs that I'm coming with
With a ring and a question
Dime a dozen and a voice
That was singing underneath the window

Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
I gotta go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na

Na, na-na na-na na
I better go it alone
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na
Na, na-na na-na na
