In the lobby of a big hotel in New York Town, one day. Sat a bunch of fellows telling yarns, to pass the time away. They told of places where they'd been and different things they'd seen.
(organ & guitar). . There's a sad, sad day, ha!. For me up ahead. I saw this stone woman. Lyin' in my bed. Last night I saw my dreams. Torn in half. I saw my future.

Fool!. I've been feelin' meager. Been hurt so many times. But I've got faith in you. You can ease my troublin' mind. . Come on, now. Iron out the rough spots, girl.
Spoken:. I just got finished given the hotel. manager back the room key and paid my bill. . I was outside in the car. In the shadows of the parkin' lot.
I'm the overtime man, girls. Where his love stop. Mine begin, oh. I'm the overtime man. And I don't mind puttin' the hours in. . All you dudes, I'm warnin' you.
Pride, sad, splendid liar,. Sworn enemy of love. Kept my lips from saying. Things I was thinking of.. But now my pride you've humbled,. I've cast it to the winds,.
Everyday people like you and me,. Just wanna live naturally.. Time taught you and you taught me,. Nothin gonna get us down.. Can't you see I said,. . If it don't matter to you.
Verse: Standing tough under stars and stripes. We can tell. This dream's in sight. You've got to admit it. At this point in time that it's clear. The future looks bright.
Since you've been gone, an awesome change has come about. My life is different now,. I'm not the same without you. I'm evolving at a really astounding rate of speed.
On a water fount. at the edge of time. I'll be sittin' there. You'll be on my mind. . It don't matter if you were wrong. or I was right. I wanna look at you tonight.
I'm walkin'. Yes indeed.. And I'm talkin'. About you and me.. I'm hopin'. That you'll come back to me.. I'm lonely. As I can be.. I'm waiting. For your company..
I'm ready, I'm willing and I'm able to rock and roll all night.. I'm ready, I'm willing and I'm able to rock and roll all night.. Come on pretty baby,.
It starts deep within, just a feeling inside. A hope in my heart I can no longer deny. to break away, break away, break away, out of here. . I'm a fool and a dreamer, with no place to run.
Girl I know there's something wrong. I can see it when I look in your eyes. And I know that it couldn't be far. it's the story of our lives. And when I look over my shoulder.
It's you, it's you, it's you, you know you make me feel better. And I knew, I knew, I knew when I was under the weather. Where did all the time go? Where did all the time go?.
I see you. Playing in the garden. Outside my window. . You're like your father. I see right through you. Just like your father. I thought I knew you. .
I'm still remembering the day. I gave my life away.. I'm still remembering the time. You said you'd be mine.. Yesterday was cold and bare. Because you were not there..
And now it's all the same to me. So be whatever you want to be. And go wherever you need to go. And when it all seems like a mistake. Take whatever you need to take.
I'm not ready for this. Though I thought I would be. I can't see the future. Though I thought I could see. (chorus). I don't want to leave you. Even though I have to.
