Words and music by Jon MacAulay. An inside look at the life of a musician.

lyrics

Met a sweet thing at some crosstown bar
About three or four nights ago
And I woke up reeling with an aching head
And she was asking me to drive her home
So I said just once more
Then we’re out the door

And I don’t know what love is
I wouldn’t know where to find it
I find a temporary fix to the situation
Climb on up inside it

Wo oh oh
That’s how it goes
Lord knows
The way the wind blows

Headin' downtown to the grocery store
With the pennies that I’ve got left
And the bagman knows he ain’t getting no tip
Because it’s coming up as NSF
Now maybe I should lace my boots
And go to work at the foundry
Spend my days with an aching back
But I would rather be on MTV
Said just gimme one more
And I'll show you what for

Tell me what it’s like to have to money
I wouldn’t know where to find it
I find a temporary fix to the situation
Climb on up inside it

Wo oh oh
That’s how it goes
Lord knows
The way the wind blows

Dreamin’ on down the road
I’ll have a house that I’ll call home
A sweet little thing on the back porch
Keeps me satisfied to my soul
And though I can't be sure
Seems like an open door

Gonna find out just what love is
Dig up where it’s been hiding
I’ll find a permanent fix to the situation
Climb on up inside it

Wo oh oh that’s how it goes
Lord knows
The way the wind blows
