I know an oldtimer | |
Just a nickel-and-dimer(1) | |
At the bar down the Adios Lounge | |
And for whiskey and smokes | |
Recites poems and jokes | |
But he's not just your average clown | |
And he's entertaining nightly | |
Down the Adios Lounge | |
And he puts it politely | |
But he does lay it down | |
Now I lie here alone in my bed | |
With these words running wild in my head | |
He said... | |
Don't let nobody go there for you | |
Don't be satisfied with a second-hand life | |
Don't let nobody stifle or bore you | |
Handle your troubles or take on your strife | |
Don't let nobody live your life for you | |
Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife | |
If you want to know where the rainbow ends | |
It's you who´ve got to go there and find it my friend | |
So I'm going back down | |
To the Adios Lounge | |
Where there's no one to wait up for me | |
I hope he's still around | |
Oh, that crazy old scrounge | |
To tell us how things ought to be | |
He said... | |
Don't let nobody go there for you | |
Don't be satisfied with a second-hand life | |
Don't let nobody stifle or bore you | |
Handle your troubles or take on your strife | |
Don't let nobody live your life for you | |
Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife | |
If you want to know where the rainbow ends | |
It's you who've got to go there and find it my friend | |
So I buy him more drinks | |
Just to hear what he thinks | |
Oh, it's worth it to see him almost smile | |
It's worth feeling free for a while | |
At the bar down the Adios Lounge | |
At the bar down the Adios Lounge | |
At the bar down the Adios Lounge |

But he does lay it down | |
Now I lie here alone in my bed | |
With these words running wild in my head | |
He said... | |
Don' t let nobody go there for you | |
Don' t be satisfied with a secondhand life | |
Don' t let nobody stifle or bore you | |
Handle your troubles or take on your strife | |
Don' t let nobody live your life for you | |
Not your friends, not your kids, no not even your wife | |
If you want to know where the rainbow ends | |
It' s you who ve got to go there and find it my friend | |
So I' m going back down | |
