The car wash is not so bad
Vivian Timmins 1955 (United States)
Here I am at the car wash
Playin' gin rummy
Parked in the dark feeling like a dummy. This position I'm in makes me uncomfortable makes me feel crummy
Because I'm all alone, no longer have a home.
Everywhere I go I feel out of place, stick out like a sore thumb, my emotions are numb.
I feel like a loser, even tho I'm not. My friends are amazed by the strength I've got. They ask how can I do it, and how you really blew it. They have big words waiting for you. Words unkind, they are going to give you a piece of their mind.
If I could drive back to our home, I would turn around, because I'm better off here playing gin rummy, if I went back to you, I'd really be a dummy.
Guess the car wash isn't so bad, it's just different than what I once had.
