Can’t Seem to Get Nowhere Songtext
von Bobby Bare

Here I am living fast, smoking Lucky′s and talking trash
Hanging out on a barroom stool, acting like a fool
Out of work and out of luck, stay out late and I drink too much
You see my face all over town, I ought to settle down

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life's a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can′t seem to get nowhere

All my friends are married now, guess I missed the boat somehow
They all moved away last year but I'm still here
Talking big and wasting time, I tell the girls I'm 29
But lately, I think it shows I′m getting old


Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life′s a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can't seem to get nowhere

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life′s a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can't seem to get nowhere

Here I am living fast, smoking Lucky′s and talking trash
Hanging out on a barroom stool, acting like a fool
Out of work and out of luck, stay out late and I drink too much
You see my face all over town, I ought to settle down

Yes, I guess I must confess
Look at me, my life's a mess
Just like a rocking chair
I can′t seem to get nowhere
