But Seriously Folks lyrics

I was standin' at the station

Out at the end of the line

Feelin' mad, just a bit impatient

And I wish that you would make up my mind

Yes I was out there on the platform

Pay phone keeps eatin' my dimes

And I still don't have an answer

And the train's leavin' right on time

I'm fallin' down

I'm fallin' down

Standin' at the station

Tomorrow, makin' a list of things to do

And when I wake up, uh uh uh oh

Gonna cross off a few

There must be millions of reasons

To try and explain, you're never through

When they give you twenty-four hours

Only so much a man can do

Tomorrow, made up my mind

Gonna get busy, come from behind

Today I'm staying right where I am

Break a few rules, make a few plans

You lost your color when you painted the town

Paintin' by the numbers

You headed for the lobby, but you never came down

Is it any wonder?

You end up sittin' in a second hand store

On display in a window

Wind up sittin' in the bottom of a drawer

Any way the wind blows

So you burned your bridges and headed downstream

Never know until you try

Over and over just as plain as can be

Taken for granted, out in the open, easy to see

Taking my chances, I'm counting my shoes

I'm playing a game, making it easy, counting in two's

By the time you get started, you're already through

Just a matter of time till it shows

Like reading the headlines, yesterday's news

Over and over

That's how it goes, or haven't you heard

I was taken by surprise by the thunder

Sit and stared out at the rain

Taken back, I was younger

In a vacant lot day

And the fall brought an Indian summer

And plenty of places to play

I can still hear 'em calling (far away)

I can hear thunder (far away)

Well the summers are hot and the winters get cold

Not a lot smarter, but another year old
