lyrics

Sitting on the beach drinking whiskey and rum,
Feeling like a tired and lonely old bum,
I drank too much and then I drank some,
You know it's over when the bus driver yawns.

I missed my chance to see the sweet lovebirds fly,
But I've often wondered if you can really get that high,
I've taken so much, don't ask me why,
'Cause I know it's over when sweet mama cries.

Yes, I believe that I have seen enough,
Of police and accidents and other nasty stuff,
Life in the bush ain't nearly so rough,
'Cause I know it's over when you've got to play the bluff.

I have danced my last city waltz,
My metropolitan life has come to a halt,
I've cried so much I can still taste the salt,
And I know it's over when it's nobody's fault.

I believe I'd best be on my way,
And I hope that nobody asks me to stay,
It would be too long if only a day,
I'm pushing my kayak out into the bay.

I sing in the morning paddling on the sea,
Wondering to myself, where am I me?
I'm where you end up once you've lost all your keys,
'Cause I know it's over when you're down on your knees.

And I won't let them push me down,
I ain't going to wear no bitter old frown,
I'll just don my prettiest gown,
And say fare thee well to this dirty old town.

Sitting on the beach drinking whiskey and rum,
Feeling like a tired and lonely old bum,
I drank too much and then I drank some,
You know it's over when the bus driver yawns.
