Somewhere Along the Line - Live at the Great American Music Hall - 1975

Well, it's a rainy night in Paris and I'm sitting by the Seine
It's a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain
Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine

Oh, but in the mornin' there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line
In the mornin' there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line

Sweet Virginia Cigarette burning in my hand
Well, you used to be a friend of mine but now I understand
You've been eating up inside me for some time

Oh, and I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line
I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line
I know it's just a matter of time
When the fun falls through and the rent comes due
Somewhere along the line
Woah

Well, you know I love my woman and I would not let her down
And I did my share of lovin' when I used to screw around
Now I'm satisfied that she is lookin' fine

Oh, but you pay for satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
You pay for your satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
Oh

Hey, it's good to be a young man and to live the way you please
Yes, a young man is the king of every kingdom that he sees
There's an old and feeble man not far behind
Oh, and it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
Surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
You know, it's gonna catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
Thank you
Thank you
Alright
Please excuse the, uh, whatever insanity comes down
It's just uh, thank you
I know, I will, I just have to explain it
I know you people pay good bucks to get in here
I don't wanna rip anybody off
It's just, we haven't seen each other for like
The band hasn't seen each other for like, two months
All of a sudden we got together to do the four days here
And this is it, this is like, the last show
We don't know when we're gonna to get together again, to do anything
And uh, so we're just kind of real melancholy about it
You know what I mean?

Play all night!

You! I'm a little drunk, but

What was that?
Oh, Jonny how you doin' Johnny?

(Slurring)

Hey, what's up
You get in this house, Johnny!

(Slurring)

Hoo-lah! Hoo-luh!

Play!

Oh, we will
We just figured you'd like to see a little off-the-cuff, uh
Band interaction
You know what I mean

I'd love some music, that's for sure
"Travelin' Prayer!"
"Los Angelenos!"
Yeah!

Uh... maybe
Oh mama, please
