Confessions (From the Album Jack-Knife)

歌詞

Let me make a small confession To be honest with you all Memories of good times past Still have their call I'd like to make a resolution To spend a little time alone Away from the papers and the busy days And the telephone I don't want to sneer at the downbeat life I never want to part from my pretty wife The gossip and the wine take up too much time When I oughtta be far away This is my inclination When ambitions pull me down To swing the doors on the lunchtime bores And get outta town I can't make an invitation You'd never know what I mean On the road with an unsafe load And a jukebox queen I don't want to live those times again I just want the peace to remember when Saturday night was a cellarful of sin Singing songs from far away, far away.
