Single room in a cheap part of town
And the elevators broken down
So I walk up the stairs
No one cares about the rent
When you're paying as little as me
Dirty dishes and a stain on my shirt
I eat alone and I'm out of work
So tell me what did you think
I'm the same, haven't changed
Just been going by a different name

What a waste
But I'm coming back to say:

I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet, fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weather's right
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
'Cause I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything is going my way

I grab the bus from the damp hotel
I grab things and I'm ready to sell
That I'll want out of time
All the things that I loved
All the memories that use to be mine
They're gone, yeah, I've thrown them away
They're gone, and I'm going to mess up today
Will you ask another day?
What a waste
Well I'm coming back to say:

I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet, fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weathers right
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
'Cause I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything is going my way

Well, everything is going my way

Big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet, fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weathers right
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
'Cause I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything...
Everything is going my way!!
