Talking to the old man   He says I done screwed up big   Tell me what I don't know   Tell me how to fix it      I been down   I got three babies in the phone book   Yeah, they're looking good   But it makes no difference   I been there just about twenty-five times   And I seem to recall   That it makes no difference      My mouth is hungry   My chest is empty   I miss Virginia   But do I really   Cause I remember darkness coming into me there   Trouble breathing even in the fresh air      Talking to my good friend   I don't know how he puts up with   Listening to my milksop   And still he stays my good friend      I lay down   Avoiding looking over at the clock   Is it 3:00 or 3:15?   Does it make a difference?   Cause I been here just about twenty-five times   And I seem to recall   That it makes no difference      My mouth is hungry   My chest is empty   I miss Virginia   But do I really   Cause I remember darkness coming into me there   Trouble breathing even in the fresh air      There ain't nobody there   And there ain't nobody here   There ain't nobody there   And there ain't nobody here      Talking to the old man   He says I done screwed up big      Well I look down   And I got no money for a few days   Tried to work a lot   But it made no difference   Well I been here just about twenty-five years   And I seem to recall that there ain't much difference      My mouth is hungry   My chest is empty   I miss Virginia   But do I really   Cause I remember darkness coming into me there   Trouble breathing even in the fresh air
