She sat right down on the sofa
00:34
Said, "Where have you been?"
00:38
I've been waiting for you
00:40
'Cause last night, I had something so good
00:44
These days get so long, and I got nothing to do
00:48
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
00:53
I been bumming around this old town so long
00:59
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
01:04
I been bumming around this old town for way too long
01:09
We spend all day getting sober
01:16
Just hiding from daylight, watching TV
01:20
We just look a lot better in the blue light
01:26
Well, you know I gotta get out
01:30
Well, I'm stuck so tight weighed by the chains that keep me
01:32
Hangin' around this town on the corner
01:37
I been bumming around this old town too long
01:41
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
01:46
I been bumming around this old town for way too long
01:51
Well, everybody trip
01:57
02:00
This girl listens to the band play
02:19
She says, "Where have you been?"
02:23
I've been lying right here on the floor, right here on the floor
02:25
Well, I got all this time to be waiting for what is mine
02:30
To be hating what I am after the love has faded
02:35
Hangin' around this town on the corner
02:39
I been bumming around this old town so long
02:44
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
02:50
I been bumming around this old town for way too
02:54
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
03:00
I been bumming around this old town so long
03:05
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
03:11
I been bumming around this old town
03:15
For way, way, way, way, way too long
03:19
Way, way, way, way too long
03:24
Way, way, way, way too long
03:31
Way, way, way, way too long
03:35
Way, way, way, way too long
03:41
Way, way, way, way too long
03:46
Way, way, way, way too long
03:52

She sat right down on the sofaSaid, "Where have you been?"
I've been waiting for you
'Cause last night, I had something so good
These days get so long, and I got nothing to do
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bumming around this old town so long
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bumming around this old town for way too long
We spend all day getting sober
Just hiding from daylight, watching TV
We just look a lot better in the blue light
Well, you know I gotta get out
Well, I'm stuck so tight weighed by the chains that keep me
Hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bumming around this old town too long
I been hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bumming around this old town for way too long
Well, everybody trip
This girl listens to the band play
She says, "Where have you been?"
I've been lying right here on the floor, right here on the floor
Well, I got all this time to be waiting for what is mine
To be hating what I am after the love has faded
Hangin' around this town on the corner
I been bumming around this old town so long
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
I been bumming around this old town for way too
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
I been bumming around this old town so long
I been hangin' around this town on a corner
I been bumming around this old town
For way, way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
Way, way, way, way too long
