Low down leaving sun,
I’ve done did everything that needs done
Woe is me, why can’t i see
I best be leaving well enough alone
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
Them keep a-haunting me in memories
There’s one in every crowd
for crying out loud
Why was it always turning out be me
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren’t another other way to be
For loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren’t another other way to be
For loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
It seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren’t another other way to be
For loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
whenever someone asks me what do you know I tell them not much but I know what I want to know and then I start singing where does it go the good lord only knows seams like it was just the other day I was down at green gables hawking them tables.
I swear it was just the other day I was walking down 6th street in Austin Texas smoking a joint but then I got run over by a car going like 70 MPH and that relocated me to southern Illinois but I could swear that was just the other day not six years ago.
I always thought this song was referring to 3 groups of people, now I realize the singer is a loveable loser, no account boozer, and a honky tonk hero.
