In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain came down, Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record on, had a smoke, stood up Walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't
A kitty in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the box, she turned the door Walked the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got back from down the road, I gotta couple a of wine to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the room In the back I for you Ya for me
I said, "What time is it Charlie, did we go all day? You to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit lookin' at each other" He said, "I know, I doin' the same thing for weeks"
I look at the clock and all of a I'm hypnotized It to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I don't know what you do But I been workin' so hard lately I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more sounds and grooved a Somebody brought out cherry wine, cherry wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And things
The rain outside came down it came never before Down, came down, it came, rain, rain, And I said, "Baby what time is it, what is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I peeked the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home from so cool, just learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, look funny All the little girls comin' home from school and they're Talkin' and drinkin' and all them funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out and do somethin' for yourself Feel like you make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here Like "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right You through that"
An' just all the time, you're gonna be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the colors are run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay here all the time as as I'd like to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go to the river And once the go through the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
