lyrics

Up and down this lonesome town
No one with to walk around
Nothing to do but sing and shout
Like my old man just hang about
The rooster crows at the break of dawn
In my dreams I gun it off to Kingdome Come
When I finally get up I take off my sheets
A glass of bourbon 'fore I'm back asleep

My days go slow I just ramble by
Pass judgments around like a hobo spy
My friends are all weird, comment on my beard
What's it to you, just, just go away
My neighbors don't like me I make too much noise
But I don't care I got a lotta poise
My colleagues aren't cute please press on the mute
Can't a brute with a suit ship 'em all to Beirut?

Sometimes the reserves they pick my name
I wish they would go back from whence they came
You see I had one woman she was mighty fine
But they called me down to the desert line
When I came back up I was tired as a bull
But my woman was gone she would not hold
Me I was all red and tan
She was all happy because she was with another man

A woman here an' a woman there
Sorry ladies you don't fit the bill
You're trying so hard to put a good impression
But nothing will help you you're a big depression
My one girl lives in some far off land
I can't go back there it's where I'm banned
I wonder if she remembers me at all
But it don't matter I'm here and that is all

I need to go out on the road
Before darling I'm gonna get too old
I don't know what I'm going to find
But it sure as damn gonna be all mine
Nowhere to go an' nowhere to hide
Just me and my guitar right by my side
Trying to find a better use of my time
Just writing songs and makin' a dime

Got no money in my pockets got nowhere to go
I'm stuck here darlin' that's all I know
Can't find no job I'm losing my mind
I'm too kind might as well go blind
My confidence is shakin' an' I feel like I'm a-breakin'
I'm not faking my mind is now achin'
Up and down this lonesome town
Trying to say goodbye, so-long, I'm gone.

Natan Galili Israel

An Israeli singer-songwriter who is drawn to the sounds of the West, where rock & roll was born between the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to the electric hymns of industrial Chicago, yet manages to fuse those distinctive sounds with current Israeli landscapes of ancient Jerusalem, mountainous Galilee and the freedom of the vast Southern desert. ... more
