Lyrics:

It's been ten long years since I've been home

I've been waiting here with nowhere to go

It's an occupation I don't like

But it pays the rent and turns on the light (alright)



I told you so

It has to be

Cut loose and runaway with me

We'll go out every night

I'll be there by your side

And we'll all get high down the old west side



If it ain't the job and it ain't the place

But I must stay for your pretty face

It's a bad reaction I can't fix

You conned me with those feline tricks



And I told you so

It's a crazy world

For a mixed-up guy

And a no-good girl



And I told you so

It's a crazy world

For a mixed-up guy

With a no-good girl



(Take her, take the world)



I told you so

It has to be

Cut loose and run away (run away) with me

We'll go out every night

I'll be there by your side

And we'll all get high down the old west side



Down the old west side

Down the old west side

Down the old west side

(Take the world, yeah)
