It comes and it goes
To an old familiar beat
And these old shoes I used to wear
Are starting to hurt my feet
I'm gonna leave at midnight
And I won't wear no shoes
Maybe I'll go to New Orleans
What have I got to lose
You stand up
You fall down
They change the rules around
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
Well I'll play piano
I think I'll play it by ear
And everyone in New Orleans
Will love what they hear
They'll call me Tyler
Just because I like that name
Well, you can call me what you like
But you can't call me down again
Don't worry
About me
You'll be just fine without me
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
Nowhere else to turn
And I never liked to dance
Well this will be the life for me
The captain of romance
Playin' my piano
For people just like me
Oh, the revolutionaries
And dignitaries
And people tryin' to be free
You stand up
You fall down
They change the rules around
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
To an old familiar beat
And these old shoes I used to wear
Are starting to hurt my feet
I'm gonna leave at midnight
And I won't wear no shoes
Maybe I'll go to New Orleans
What have I got to lose
You stand up
You fall down
They change the rules around
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
Well I'll play piano
I think I'll play it by ear
And everyone in New Orleans
Will love what they hear
They'll call me Tyler
Just because I like that name
Well, you can call me what you like
But you can't call me down again
Don't worry
About me
You'll be just fine without me
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
Nowhere else to turn
And I never liked to dance
Well this will be the life for me
The captain of romance
Playin' my piano
For people just like me
Oh, the revolutionaries
And dignitaries
And people tryin' to be free
You stand up
You fall down
They change the rules around
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
It comes and it goes
