the roustabouts – rooftops lyrics
[chorus: jon licht]
well i been here, i been there
i been everywhere you see
but i can’t seem to find a place where i was meant to be
yeah i been near, i been far
been on boats and planes and cars
sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
[verse 1: jon licht]
well i met a man in texas
yeah he spoke it slow and sweet
he had a red guitar, a broke down car
he drank his whiskey neat
he said “son what the h+ll are you doing in this godforsaken town?”
then he slapped my back
he smiled real big
he threw his drink right down
i said
[chorus: jon licht]
i been here, i been there
i been everywhere you see
but i can’t seem to find a place where i was meant to be
yeah i been near, i been far
been on boats and planes and cars
sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
[verse 2: jon licht]
well now i’m down in tucson
my shirt’s sticking to my back
i’m down to my last dollar
got one more smoke left in my pack
then i saw the finest looking girl that i ever think i seen
we spent the night in the movie house throwing popcorn at the screen
[chorus: jon licht]
i been here, i been there
i been everywhere you see
but i can’t seem to find a place where i was meant to be
yeah i been near, i been far
been on boats and planes and cars
sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
[bridge: jon licht]
but i can’t seem to find my way into that cold abyss you call a heart
yeah every time i try i seem to find myself right here back at the start
so tell me what you want to do
cause i’ll go anywhere with you
but it’s pretty d+mn plain and clear to see
the only one i have is me
[verse 3: jon licht]
now i’m headed up the 15 north
that old city of sin and lights
i took my chance
i rolled the dice
and i came up big that night
but by the time the sun was creeping up
over all the dirt and all the rocks
i was stumbling out the front door
with nothing but my blue jeans and my socks
[chorus: jon licht]
yeah i been here, i been there
i been everywhere you see
but i can’t seem to find a place where i was meant to be
yeah i been near, i been far
been on boats and planes and cars
sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
[chorus: jon licht]
alright
ok
alright
well i been here, i been there
i been everywhere you see
but i can’t seem to find a place where i was meant to be
yeah i been near, i been far
been on boats and planes and cars
sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
[outro: jon licht]
yeah i’m sleeping up on rooftops
staring at the stars
yeah i’m sleeping up on rooftops
in between the bars
so meet me on the rooftop
underneath the stars
