Pirates (so Long Lonely Avenue) Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

Come on, Joey get out of school, we got places to go 

A '57 Lincoln you got a radio that hurts 

And the girls like to touch it 

Just to find out if it works 

But don't look at me, it wasn't me 

Joey live on the edge of the corner 

Of living on the run 

I like to ride in the middle 

I'm just tryin' to have some fun 

Until the Pirates come and take me 

And I won't need a pilot 

Got a pirate who might sail 

Somewhere I heard far away 

You answer me so, I'm holding on 

To your rainbow sleeves 

Well, goodbye boys 

Oh, my buddy boys 

Oh, my sad-eyed Sinatras 

It's a cold globe around the sea 

You keep the shirt that I bought you 

But I know you'll get the chance to make it 

And nothin's gonna stop you 

You just reach right out and take it 

You say, so long, lonely Avenue 

Hey, so long lonely Avenue 

I'll see you there 

Wait 'n see 

Be lookin' for me 

Just like you 

Just like me
