I remember settin' out just to see what I could see
Streetcars rollin' by and airplanes flyin' high, they all meant nothin' to me
No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
I kept walkin' and the rain kept rainin' until all the streets were bare

Ooh-ooh, feelin' fine, mama
Painted ladies and a bottle o' wine, mama
Ooh-ooh, feelin' good, mama
They took my money like I knew they would
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la

City lights were shinin' on me through my window pane
I kept thinkin' 'bout the day when I'd be home again
Rockin' chairs and summer fairs and swimmin' in the sea
I kept drinkin', sinkin' till there was nothin' left of me

Ooh-ooh, feelin' fine, mama
Painted ladies and a bottle o' wine, mama
Ooh-ooh, feelin' good, mama
They took my money like I knew they would
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la, la
