Been a long time since I’ve been here

So much now has changed

Don’t recall the way it was

There’s nothing left the same

Can’t remember this

I can’t remember that

Don’t know where to go

Don’t know where it’s at

Well you can pick, and you can choose

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

 

Downtown in the city

So many things have gone

I remember how it was

And it don’t seem so long

There was once a place to play

A place there to relax

They took it all away

They took it with their axe

 

Well you can pick, and you can choose

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Yes you can give, and you can take

But if it’s fake that’s your mistake

 

Well I see the road ahead

And I can feel the rain

I’m not sure if I will ever

Come on home again

You can make decisions     

But you must bear the cost

I’m not sure which way to go

Seems that I am lost

 

Well you can pick, and you can choose

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Yes you can give, and you can take

But if it’s fake well that’s your mistake

Yes you can pick, and you can choose

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

Yes you can pick, and you can choose

But if you sing, you sing the blues
