Mike Corrado: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

There's a place outside of town where people go to drown their frowns and it's somewhere near Memphis

Where sits a man with no plan but he's got the hair and the clothes
and he thinks he's Elvis

Says he knows someone who knows someone who's married to a movie star…
and he thinks that makes him a star

We all lie sometimes
We all get lonely sometimes
We all try to just get by

There’s a girl next to the King who stares at her glass like she’s staring at her dream and she says “I’ll take another”

“It isn’t fair it’s some kind of joke I need a new dream ‘cause this one’s broken,
won’t you pour me another?

The bartender says “that’s all I can do ‘cause all down the line they’re all like you
but this one’s on me”

“Take it and go, this one for the road and remember sometimes
we all get lonely, we all get lonely”

We all cry sometimes
We all get lonely sometimes
We all try to just get by

The easy thing is giving up on what’s given up on you but I’m not that kind, ‘cause I just want to get by

L.A.’s great this time of year and you send me a card saying I wish you were here, I wish that too.

We all want sometimes
We all get lonely sometimes
We all try to just get by

We all
just want to get on by..
