I'm gettin' tired of roamin' round
I'm gettin' tired of paintin' the town
Bright lights and blonde haired women don't thrill me
I'm gettin' tired of being lit up like a Christmas tree
I've done about everything there is to do you said it would be this way
Well believe me baby I'm all through I guess I'll come to you
Well I'm gettin' tired of roamin' round...
