Lyrics:

Could you kindly drop me home?
Could we finally say good night?
On its way for years, it suddenly appeared
In my eyes, like traveling light.

Why must it be like this?
Baby, why you drink like that?
I’ll have to take the fifth
And go ’round back.

Well, the bloom is on the ground
And the writing’s on the wall
On its way for years, it suddenly appeared
In her eyes, like traveling light.

Why must it be like this?
Baby, why you drink like that?
I’ll have to take the fifth
And go ’round back.

Well, me and my drunk chauffeur
Couldn’t find no place to turn around
And me and my drunk chauffeur
Burning every bridge in town.

Why must it be like this?
Baby, why you drink like that?
I’ll have to take the fifth
And go ’round back.

Could you kindly drop me home?
Could we finally say good night?
On its way for years, it suddenly appeared
In my eyes, like traveling light.
In my eyes, like traveling light.
