It's Been Raining Here In Long Beach Lyrics - Jackson Browne

It's been raining here in Long Beach 

The dampness in the air 

Tends to straighten out my hair 

Against my wishes 

But the traces of a song reach 

My tattered ear once more 

Lend me courage to ignore 

The smell of fishes 

I was a drunken lout, I ran about 

With ladies that I knew 

I did 'em wrong all night long 

Singing 23 skidoo

Huzahh, huzahh, once upon a time I was a kid 

Well I don't know what happened then 

But I'm warning all you younger men 

On your way to Long Beach think again 

You can't afford to settle down in Long Beach 

I had a rack and coat, a paddle boat 

I played the ukelele 

Beneath the moon in June I'd croon 

Won't you come on home little baby 

Photos 

Huzahh, huzahh, once upon a time I was a kid 

But now my hair is turning gray, I'm getting fatter every day 

If you got any sense you'll stay away 

And never give another thought to Long Beach 

And never give a moment's thought to Long Beach
