So hand in hand, we walked along
"Have I seen your face before?"
Givin' rides in his rockin' eighty-eight for free
With a long forgotten name
When up ahead I saw the crowd
It looks like I'm singing the same old song
Still hangin' on to fame
Wiped the dust off of my boots
It's been the same way for, oh so long
She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress
She was singin' the same song that I was
Doing good things for the poor
But it looks like I'm singin' the same old song
I'm from a distant shore"
It was nothing more than I'd left behind
Could we both be wrong?
Which was much to my surprise
A nineteen forty movie star
They could not hope for more
With forgotten lines she missed her cue
And left a glass of wine at home
I said, "Oh no, you must be wrong
I turned around and lit a cigarette
I knew it was no use
So if you don't mind, I'll just move along
A fine and fancy man was he
When it came my turn he said to me
