Can't seem to get nowhere Songtext

von Bobby Bare

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Can't seem to get nowhere" von Bobby Bare handelt von einem Mann, der sich in seinem Leben verloren fühlt ...

Here I am a livin' fast smokin' Lucky's and talkin' trash
Hangin' out on a barroom stool actin' like a fool
Out of work and out of luck stay out late and I drink too much
You see my face all over town I ought to settle down
Yes I guess I must confess look at me my life's a mess
Just like a rockin' chair I can't seem to get nowhere

All my friends are married now guess I missed the boat somehow
They all moved away last year but I'm still here
Talkin' big and wastin' time I tell the girls I'm 29
But lately I think it shows I'm gettin' old
Yes I guess I must confess...

Yes I guess I must confess..
Here I am a livin' fast...
