Intro

Verse 1

Single room in the cheap part of town

And the elevator's broken down

  So I walk up the stairs

  No-one cares about the rent when you're paying as little as me

Verse 2

Dirty dishes and a stain on my shirt

I eat alone when I'm out of work

  So tell me, what did you think?

  I am the same, haven't changed, just been going by a different name

Pre-chorus 1

What a waste, now I'm coming back to say

Chorus 1

  I'm no big shot, big town, big money, hop in my jet, flying all around the country

Sometimes when the weather's right, I sail out to the ocean, staying overnight

  Well, I went from broke since the last time we spoke

  Now I'm coming back here to say, everything is going my way

Verse 3

I grab the bus from the damp hotel

I grab my things and I'm ready to sell

  That I'll want out of time (out of time you know)

  All the things that I loved; all the memories that used to be mine

Verse 4

  They're gone, yeah, I've thrown them away

They're gone, they're never gonna last another day

  Will they last another day?

Pre-chorus 2

What a waste, now I'm coming back to say

Chorus 2

  I'm no big shot, big town, big money, hop in my jet, flying all around the country

Sometimes when the weather's right, I sail out to the ocean, staying overnight

  Well, I went from broke since the last time we spoke

  Now I'm coming back here to say, everything is going my way

Instrumental bridge

Chorus 3

  I'm no big shot, big town, big money, hop in my jet, flying all around the country

Sometimes when the weather's right, I sail out to the ocean, staying overnight

  Yeah, 'cause I went from broke since the last time we spoke

  Now I'm coming back here to say, everything

  Everything is going my way
