Herbie Hancock – I've Been So Many Places In My Life And Time lyrics

Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down?
It was later in the evening
That the facts and the figures got turned around
True there was a women
Yes she didn't fess my way
And I can't be sure exactly but I swear I saw her say my name

It was the right time
She was the real thing
I had to walk away

(see) don't wanna be, stitched up out of my mind
Feeling, strung out, laggin? behind
All, trapped in, can't do a thing cuz I'm
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All, strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in, can't do a thing cuz I'm
Locked down

I wonder where she came from
I wonder where she's gotta go
Who's to say she's single
And who's to say she's on her own
Girls like that don't sleep alone
(alright heres the thing, heres the thing)

That girls is flawless, and I know I'm not the first one to think that
This is not the first, I sure won't be the last
Spend my whole life looking behind the back
I just don't think I'm up to that

Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling, strung out, laggin? behind
All, trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All, strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in can't do a thing because you're
Locked down

Stitched up, out of my mind
Feeling, strung out, laggin? behind
All, trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm
Locked down
Stitched up, feeling the burn
All, strung out, I finally learn that
Trapped in can't do a thing because you're
Locked down
Locked down

Stitched me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitched me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
I don't wanna be
Stitched me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Stitched me up, string me out
Trap me in, lock me down
Cuz im down and down and down (oo)
