As Far As Lonely Goes Lyrics

Janis Ian As Far As Lonely Goes

Underneath the neon sign of harry's bar and grill Someone hugs a bottle to take away the chill Oh, but the wind still blows Carries his sleeping soul as far as lonely goes

Upstairs in a penthouse behind a golden door Someone's drinking pink champagne to keep from being bored Between the highs and lows the icy wind still blows as far as lonely goes

You would never buy a bottle to wash away your troubles If you could buy a suitcase for your soul You would make a pretty package of all your extra baggage Lock it up and send it down the road as far as lonely goes

From the has-beens to the haves From the mansions to the alleys From the riches to the rags Underneath our clothes we're all the same, you know as far as lonely goes

I would never buy a bottle to wash away my troubles if i could buy a suitcase for my soul I would make a pretty package of all my extra baggage Lock it up and send it down the road As far as lonely goes
