Monte Carlo Blues Lyrics

[Verse]

It's a job like any others

Got a sell-by date

There's no need for you to get confused

I'm sitting here contemplating grace

With the Monte Carlo blues

Uncle Willy was a gamblin' man

He would've really enjoyed all of this

Would've seemed like the promised land

But he don't know just what he missed



[Chorus]

I'm goin' back home (Back home)

Goin' back to the states

It's good to see how the other half lives, yeah

How they get their kicks

It's all a show, this old front

But everybody here knows exactly just what they want

Rest of the world keeps on sailin' by

I've got these Monte Carlo blues, alright



[Interlude]

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da



[Chorus]

I'm goin' back home (Back home)

Goin' back to the states

It's good to see how the other half lives, yeah

How they get their kicks

It's all a show, this old front

But everybody here knows exactly just what they want

Rest of the world keeps on sailin' by

I've got these Monte Carlo blues



[Outro]

You say, "Hi"

I say, "Bye, bye"

To these Monte Carlo blues

You say, "Hi"

I say, "Bye-bye"

To these Monte Carlo blues
