Goodbye Cleveland Lyrics - The Rose Hotel - Robert Earl Keen

I been down this street once or twice 

i played the bars and the blues 

never took noone's advice 

to me its all yesterday's news 

and we would drink an old flannery 

we were drinkin' and drinkin' some more 

the clock struck a quarter to three 

the cops busted right in the door 

(Refrain) 

Goodbye Clevland 

turn down the rock and roll 

turn out the light 

Goodbye Clevland 

Goodbye, Good luck and goodnight 

she had the rock and the roll 

born with the brass and the style 

they took her heart and her soul 

she ain't been back in a while 

theres Blind Blake and Willie McTell 

outburn and outburn and can 

there's bankers and wankers in hell 

who'd give it all back just to sell 

(Refrain) 

I buried my ma and my pa 

i left you some cash on the shelf 

i'm goin' down south 'till I thaw 

i'll be better off by myself 

Goodbye Clevland 

Turn down the rock and roll turn out the lights 

Goodbye Clevland 

Goodbye, Goodluck, and Goodbye Cleavland 

turn down the rock and roll, turn out the lights 

goodby clevland ... good bye, goodluck and goodnight 

good bye, goodluck and goodnight
