Fillmore Shuffle

I often wonder how the Fillmore Shuffle

Caught us both in the very same year

I guess we were foolish, but so glad to do it

Face down in the hallway, but never any tears



The first one to go was sweet William

I guess we should, we should have been warned

But it felt so good to be quittin'

We thought we were causing nobody any harm



So we kept lying to each other saying

"I'm gonna quit it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes"

I'll quit it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes

Tomorrow never comes



And I guess our life reads just a novel

Though we both keep hoping for so much more

We keep on tryin' to understand

Why we keep on livin', livin' this way



Tryin' to keep thinks together is the reason I stay

And she says to me, "Baby, honey, I feel so bad"

Then she goes out walkin' and she stays out so late

And I know where she's goin', to myself, I say

Call it the Fillmore Shuffle
