Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign Two full quarters saying don't come 'round here with your listening dime I know there's better ways for me to get home Lately I ain't been doing so good. I've been on my own I'm a grown man, got no control I got a dollar, I bet you I could turn it into five I might take you out to dinner later on tonight Every time I get on the road There's always something there to push me down in the hole Grown man, bless my soul You know it's hard to explain There's things a man's gotta learn to contain Sweet now it just ain't the same And your momma's only boy, your daddy's only shame ♪ Standing on the corner 'round the bend by the dead end sign Calling my baby saying take me back one more time Oh, take me back Take me back, babe
