Margot at the Wedding movie - Goin' Down To Laurel lyrics

rate me

Song by Steve Forbert<br /><br>

<br>

He can play the fool and make a few mistakes, <br>

<br>

But all the same he'll never be a bore<br>

<br>

I'm glad to be so young talkin' with my tongue<br>

<br>

Glad to be so careless in my way<br>

<br>

Glad to take a chance and play against the odds<br>

<br>

Glad to be so crazy in my day<br>

<br>

Well I'm goin' down to Laurel<br>

<br>

It's a dirty stinkin' town yea<br>

<br>

But me I know exactly what I'm going to find <br>

<br>

Little girl I'm goin' to see<br>

<br>

She is a fool for lovin' me<br>

<br>

But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind <br>

<br>

Yes it is (on second chorus)<br>

<br>

Well what was that you said when you had a tear<br>

<br>

Rolling down your cheek the other night<br>

<br>

I couldn't catch it all there's something going wrong<br>

<br>

I hope you got it straightened out alright<br>

<br>

Everything's so loud and everything's so fast<br>

<br>

I here your brother married once again<br>

<br>

Yea best of luck and all and try to have some fun<br>

<br>

They tell me this great life can always end<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>

harmonica theme again: <br>

<br>

I'm smilin' from a car, I'm goin' for a drive<br>

<br>

Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone flying by<br>

<br>

Mirror's on the moon, echo in the sun<br>

<br>

See just a touch of madness in my eye<br>

<br>

Please don't mention rain, please don't talk of trains<br>

<br>

Please don't mention buildings burning down<br>

<br>

Everybody here seems to like to laugh<br>

<br>

Either step in time or just don't hang around<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

<br>
