One For Ripley

Used to be an independent man
Now I'm back, a cap in hand
Before the girl I left behind
Oh, I must've been out of my mind

Brought my sorrow home with me
Hopin' you'd forget me
Now there's one for Ripley
'Cause I can't believe it myself

(Ooh) when I set out all that time ago
I let everybody know
(Ooh) I'd rule the world before I was done
Now I'm done in more ways than one

Brought my sorrow home with me
Hopin' you'd forget me
Now there's one for Ripley
'Cause I can't believe it myself

(Ooh)
(Ooh)

(Ooh) turned my back on the time I loved
'Cause I thought it wasn't big enough
(Ooh) wasn't long before I was shown
Was only my hat that I'd outgrown

Brought my sorrow home with me
Hopin' you'd forget me
Now there's one for Ripley
'Cause I can't believe it myself
Now there's one for Ripley (ooh)
'Cause I can't believe it myself
Mm
