Words and Music by Billy Joel
From Piano Man (1973) |

Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son
Tomorrow morning I could be a bum
It doesn't matter which direction, though
I know a woman in New Mexico, oh
Tomorrow morning I could be a bum
It doesn't matter which direction, though
I know a woman in New Mexico, oh
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong, oh
And if I don't have a car, I'll hitch
I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch
I do my writing on my road guitar
And make a living at a piano bar, oh
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Lightning and thunder
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
Oh, but it's clear skies we're under
When I am together, when I sing this song
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many people got a hold on me
But I know something that they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Worse comes to worst
I will get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong, oh
And if I don't have a car, I'll hitch
I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch
I do my writing on my road guitar
And make a living at a piano bar, oh
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Lightning and thunder
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
Oh, but it's clear skies we're under
When I am together, when I sing this song
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Too many people got a hold on me
But I know something that they don't know
I know a woman in New Mexico
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Worse comes to worst
I'll get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
Worse comes to worst
I will get along
I don't know how, but sometimes
I can be strong
