John Mellencamp Rumbleseat lyrics

All the leaves are green, all my friends are gone
I'm livin' in my hometown, I can barely get along
I feel sorry for myself, that's a easy thing to do
I feel sorry for the world, I feel sorry for you

Yes, I am a pitiful sight, I can't even get one thing right

I know just what it's like to be ridin', ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes, I know just what it's like to be a big time rider in the rumbleseat

Well, I could have a nervous breakdown but I don't believe in shrinks
I should be drunker than a monkey but I don't like to drink
Could call up some girls but I'm afraid of the phone
I'm always talkin' to myself, I guess I'm never alone

Am I the only one that feels this way
I'd buy myself some stylin' clothes but I sure hate to pay


I know just what it's like to be ridin', ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes, I know just what it's like to be a big time rider in the rumbleseat, hey

The sun is coming up just goin' to bed
I combed my hair with my pillow still got some dreams left
Tomorrow is a new day gonna make these dreams come true
I'm gonna believe in myself I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna stop puttin' myself down
I'm gonna turn my life around

I'll be ridin' high with my feet kicked up in the rumbleseat
Yeah, we'll go for a drive and we'll be singin' shotgun from that rumbleseat
Yes, I'll blow you a kiss and we'll be ridin' big time in my rumbleseat, yeah
