I'm tired of living my life alone
Think you're going to hell, but not alone
If you want to find out, keep yourself well known
I've been all around this kind of world
Downing mixers, shaken and stirred
I want to know (well, do you, girl?) (yeah)
Calling up wild Jimmy in his backwoods town
Get yourself out of junction, move yourself around
You want to go, get to the town
I've been all around and man, you want to know
I've been all around the town
When the sun goes up i'm leaving town
You know, moving back just to get around, ok?
I've been, what you want to know?
Some will come, some will go
I've been moving back, to and fro, OK, you
But if you go away (yeah, yeah)
But if you go away (oh)
But if you go away (yeah, yeah)
But if you go away
I'm tired of living my life alone
I think you're going to hell, but not alone
If you want to find out, keep yourself well known
Moving way north, where the grass is green
Open skies and fields, do you know what I mean
You want to go and make a scene
I've been all around and man, I want to know
I've been all around the town
When the sun goes up I'm leaving town
I've been moving back just to get around, ok
I've been, what you want to know
Some will come, some will go
I've been moving back, to and fro, OK, yeah
But if you go away (yeah, yeah)
If you go away (oh)
If you go away (yeah, yeah)
If you go away (yeah, yeah)

Boy, you went astray
Is there anything that you want to say
Are there debts that you have to pay
Cause you went astray
If you wanted to know
If you wanted to know
Just say so
Cause you went astray
Cause you went astray
Cause you went astray
If you wanted to know
If you wanted to know
Just say so
Cause you went astray
Cause you went astray
Cause you went astray
