Goin' Down To Laurel Lyrics - Alive On Arrival/jack Rabbit Slim (special Anniversary Edition) - Steve Forbert

Well everybody here, seems to like to laugh 

Look at Johnny jivin' across the floor 

He can play the fool and make a few mistakes 

But all the same he'll never be a bore 

I'm glad to be so young talkin' with my tongue 

Glad to be so careless in my way 

Glad to take a chance and play against the odds 

Glad to be so crazy in my day 

Well I'm goin' down to Laurel 

It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah 

But me I know exactly 

What I'm going to find 

Little girl I'm goin' to see 

She is a fool for lovin' me 

But she's in love 

And love's a funny state of mind 

Well what was that you said when you had a tear 

Rolling down your cheek the other night 

I couldn't catch it all there's something going wrong 

I hope you got it straightened out alright 

Everything's so loud and everything's so fast 

I hear your brother married once again 

Yeah, the best of luck and all and try to have some fun 

They tell me this great life can always end 

Well I'm goin' down to Laurel 

It's a dirty stinkin' town yeah 

But me I know exactly 

What I'm going to find 

Little girl I'm goin' to see 

She is a fool for lovin' me 

But she's in love 

And love's a funny state of mind, yes it is 

I'm smilin' from a car, I'm goin' for a drive 

Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone flying by 

Mirror's on the moon, echo in the sun 

See just a touch of madness in my eye 

Please don't mention rain, please don't talk of trains 

Please don't mention buildings burnin' down 

Everybody here, seems to like to laugh 

Either step in time or just don't hang around 

Well, well I'm goin' down to Laurel 

It's a dirty stinkin' town, yeah 

But me I know exactly 

What I'm going to find 

Little girl I'm goin' to see 

She is a fool for lovin' me 

But she's in love 

And love's a funny state of mind 

Oh tell me what I say now 

She's in love and 

Love's a funny state of mind 

Yeah
