loudon wainwright iii - little waterloo lyrics

there comes a time in a young man’s life when he should
settle down,
but i’ve gotta catch that next fair deal before it hits
the ground –
i’m on my way, i’m gonna make it pay.
go ask anybody, it’s happened more than once –
i’ll step out for a minute and be gone for seven months
–
got a little bit lost, i forgot my watch.
oh, i’m going away, i’m going to stay, and never coming
home.
gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come,
when the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is
covered up with snow –
you’ll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving
man.
you’re gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to
come.
i’m livin’ in the highways, just tryin’ to catch a car.
it’s “where you going, buddy?” “well, i’m going
wherever you are –
i’m satisfied, just to take a little ride.”
life’s a lot like poker, you can’t win if you don’t
play –
gonna bankroll my tomorrow and p-wn my yesterday.
i’ll trust in god, but i’ll cut the cards.
oh, i’m going away, i’m going to stay, and never coming
home.
gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come,
when the winter wind begins to blow, the ground is
covered up with snow –
you’ll think of me, gonna wish me back, your loving
man.
you’re gonna miss me honey in the day, days, days to
come.
i’m going round the world, what do you think of that?
going all the way around the world, i’m never coming
back –
never comin’ home, goin’ away to roam.
oh but i won’t go to san antone or anywhere near france
–
that’s two last things, i said that’s two,
that i’m never never never ever ever gonna do.
so can’t you see? it’s guaranteed – there isn’t any
chance
i’ll meet my alamo, my little waterloo.
