Single room in a cheap part of town
And the elevator's broken down
So I walk up the stairs
No one cares about the rent
When you pay it as little as me

Dirty dishes, got a stain on my shirt
I eat alone and I'm outta of work
Tell me what did you think?
I'm the same, haven't changed
Just been going by a different name

What a waste
But I'm coming back to say

I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet
Fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weather's right
I sail it to the ocean and stay overnight
Well I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything is going my way
Well everything is going my way

I grab the bus from a damp hotel
I grab my things and I'm ready to sell
One at a time
All the things that I loved
All the memories that used to be mine

They're gone, yeah, I've thrown them away
They're gone, will help me last another day
Will I last another day?

What a waste
Well I'm coming back to say

I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet
Fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weather's right
I sail it to the ocean and stay overnight
Well I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything is going my way
Everything is going my way

I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet
Fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weather's right
I sail it to the ocean and stay overnight
Well I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything...
Everything is going my way
