I did my best tryin' to be a rollin' stone
Just too good a time when I'm home
It's time to lay my head¦ lay my head down

So put me anywhere in St. John's town

PRE-CHORUS
Where the Southside looks down, down, down
Down on the town
If ya hear me
CHORUS
Light up the light, I'll ride out the night 'til I'm where the water's calm
Pray for the weather, heave up the mainsail
There's a good day comin' when you lay your head in St. John's
(I' been away, been away too long¦ I' been away, been away too long)

I haves too good a time when I'm home
Hey buddy, wha's ya at¦ wha's goin' on?

PRE-CHORUS AND CHORUS
CHORUS
