Ain't That So

I've been around

So far it seems

Too bad the blues

Blew my schemes

Dynamite

Such sweet surprise

In southern heat

Or northern skies

Ain't that so

Shadows cling

Where shutters close

Who can tell

Heaven knows

Why some can laugh

And some can sing

Stand in line

Or get on down and swing

Ain't that so

Cross the street

Who's ringing bells?

Peeling walls

Of cheap hotels

Neon flare

A sudden chill

And there you lie

And time stands still

Ain't that so
