Where Are You (J.P. Conley - B.M.I) © 1996 Train shakin’ Rambling on through the night Spent my last dollar on the fare Reckless dreamer Careless schemer Spent my whole life just bummin’ around Just smoked my last cigarette The whiskey’s all gone Pockets have been empty all along Chorus: Where are you now Where are you hiding baby Where are you Where are you lady Someone’s been goin’ around Spreadin’ all these lies Said you’ve been smiling all the time I know that it’s not true No, not this time Look at the shape I’m in tonight Just when I needed you the most I turned around, you were gone Again I’ve been left here all alone Chorus: Sometimes a good slap across the face Will do just fine A little help to get me back in line Lady luck, she ain’t always smilin’ I learned that tonight Sometimes gotta make in on your own Stumbling and sometimes fallin’ But moving right along A victim of fate, it feels so wrong Chorus:
