Galveston - Janis Ian

Galveston

I’m so afraid to die

When the people all around me

Can’t remember where they found me

And I’m telling you

I know it’s a lie

All of the people smile at me

All of the people

Sing you a song

Guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes

Never been one for hanging around

With the same old crowd

I’ll sing you my songs

Kid, they’re all I can do

They’re all that’s allowed

Galveston

I’m so ashamed to die

When the people who surround me

Keep on thinking that they’ve found me

And I’m telling you

I think I know why

All of the people cheer for me

All of the people

Ring in the New Year

Ring out the old year misery

Never been one for hanging around

With the same old crowd

I’ll sing you my songs

Kid, they’re all I can do

They’re all that’s allowed
