born on a windy morning in May
and spent most of his time wastin' away
and the six o'clock news always seemed
to get him down
but he had a brain and it started to say
go buy a boat and just sail away
it's no use cryin'
you got to shoot this town
nobody knows that his luck's all in
but the cat's alright
and the cat's alright
sad kinda story
buddy can you spare a dime
the Lord above he don't care no way
but the cat's alright
and the cat's alright
he's kinda lonely, thinking how to
spend his time
stop wasting your time
packed up his bag and his old 44
took all his money and slammed up the door
the horizon ain't far
so i go to be movin' on
but he had a brain and it started to say
dive in your car and just drive away
forget the back roads
it's not what you're living for
and spent most of his time wastin' away
and the six o'clock news always seemed
to get him down
but he had a brain and it started to say
go buy a boat and just sail away
it's no use cryin'

nobody knows that his luck's all in
but the cat's alright
and the cat's alright
