Lyrics

Around Here Somewhere
Songwriter: Joseph Jackson

Well these drinking nights are killing me.
I?m late for work, and I?ve lost my keys.
But this sort of thing happens every other day.

I?m always losing my things when I get drunk,
But they usually come turning up somewhere
Along the way.

I know I had em? last night when I stumbled into bed.

Chorus
Well they?re around here somewhere.
I know I?ve seen em? not long ago
Around here somewhere.
They didn?t just walk off on their own.

After tearing up the house and running out of luck,
I started thinking that I left them inside of my truck.
It wouldn?t be the first time that I?ve left em? there.

I headed out the door and started looking around,
Cause where my truck used to sit was just some oil on the ground.
With a confused look on my face I threw my hands in the air.

When I came in last night I know it was there.

Chorus
Well it?s around here somewhere.
I know I?ve seen it not long ago
Around here somewhere.
It didn?t just drive off on its own.

While I?m outside searching I heard the phone ring.
And after six or seven times I started to think
That my wife usually picks it up after a couple of times.


So I made my way to our bedroom
To find an empty bed. And now I?m confused.
This wasn?t the kind of morning that I had in mind.

When I stumbled in last night, she was by my side.

Chorus
Well she?s around here somewhere.
I know I?ve seen her not long ago
Around here somewhere.
She wouldn?t just leave me all alone.

As I kept looking for my keys I found a note on the chair.
It said ?this is the last time I wonder where
You?ve been all night at the top of the stairs.
So I took your truck and I left you here.?

?I?ll be around here somewhere.?
?I?ll be around here somewhere.?
?I?ll be around here somewhere.?
?I?ll be around here somewhere.?
