Goin' Down to Laurel

Everybody here seem to like to laugh
Look at Johnny jivin' 'cross the floor
He can play the fool and make a few mistakes
But all the same he'll never be a bore
Glad to be so young, talkin' with my tongue
Glad to be so careless in my way
Glad to take a chance, play against the odds
Glad to be so crazy in my day

And I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town, yeah
But me, I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She's a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Hey, what was it you said when you had a tear
Rollin' down your cheek the other night?
I couldn't catch it all, was somethin' goin' wrong?
I hope you got it straightened out all right
Everything's so loud and everything's so fast
I hear your brother married once again
Well, best of luck and all and try to have some fun
They tell me this great life can always end

And I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town, yeah
But me, I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She's a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Oh yeah
Oh my my my my my my mind

I'm smilin' from a car goin' for a drive
Feel a whistle blowin', breeze goin' flyin' by
Mirrors on the moon echo in the sun
See just a touch of madness in my eye
Please don't mention rain, please don't talk of trains
Please don't mention buildings burnin' down
Everybody here seem to like to laugh
Either step in time or hang
Just don't hang around

I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town, yeah
But me, I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She's a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind

Tell me, yeah
She's in love and love's a funny state of mind
Oh yeah
It's a pretty dead room
Oh my my my my mind
