If I could lose All my troubles By running away No, no I wouldn't stay No I wouldn't But they just keep on Hangin' 'round me And won't go away No, no won't go away It just ain't fair No, no, no It just ain't fair This whole year Has been a blunder Yes I've lost my sense of wonder And there are no sweet warm love birds to turn to I have no one to call brother On every street In the city Well you'll get afraid Yes so afraid You can't see Past the surface Of plans that I made to drive you insane Everywhere, everyday You won't even want to find yourself a place to hide And you'll be hurt so many times You'll lose your love of nursery rhymes Get the safest room you can find And lock the door Find yourself another country If I could lose All my troubles By running away No, no I wouldn't stay No I wouldn't But they just keep on Hangin' 'round me And won't go away No, no won't go away No they won't go away! Well I know there must be someplace people Someplace I can rest my weary head 'Cause you know I've been all over this country people And it's the same, the same old thing Everywhere I go Don't you think I might find someplace to rest my weary head Yea
