The Usual Place
The Usual Place
by Jim Nasium
Tell her I’ll be waiting
at the usual place
she’ll recognize me
by the look on my face
It’s been such a long time
since I’ve been here before
I had promised myself that
I’d not come here no more
But things build up slowly
then they want to explode
of course I’m always looking
for the mother load
The only trouble I have
going back to my old ways
is that I don’t want to leave
I get lost one night for three days
I always remember that one thing
you told me not to forget
but a man does what he has to
there’s no time to regret
So tell her I’ll be waiting
at the usual place
ask her to look her best
to wear black silk and lace
It’s been such a long time
since I’ve been here before
never wanted to do it
but I’m going back for more…
