Somewhere along the line

Well, it's a rainy night in Paris

And I'm sitting by the Seine

It's a pleasure to be soaking

in the European rain

Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine

Oh but in the morning there'll be hell to pay

Somewhere along the line

In the morning there'll be hell hell to pay

Somewhere along the line

Sweet Virginia cigarette

burin' in my hand

Well you used to be a friend of mine

but now I understand

You've been eating up inside me for some time

Oh and I know you're gonna get me

Somewhere along the line

Well I know you're gonna get me

Somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line

Well I know it's just a matter of time

Well the fun falls through and the rent comes due

Somewhere along the line

Well you know I love my woman

And I would not let her down

And I did my share of lovin'

when I used to get around

Now I'm satisfied, and she is lookin' fine

Oh but you pay for satisfaction

Somewhere along the line

But you pay for your satisfaction

Somewhere along the line

Hey it's good to be a young man

And to live the way you please

Yes a young man is the king

of ev'ry kingdom that he sees

But there's an old and feeble man not far behind

Oh and it surely will catch up to him

Somewhere along the line

Well it surely will catch up to him

Somewhere along the line
