Well, it's a rainy night in Paris and I'm sitting by the Seine
It's a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain
Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine
Oh, but in the morning there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line
In the morning there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line
Sweet Virginia Cigarette a-burning in my hand
Well, you used to be a friend of mine but now I understand
You've been eating up inside me for some time
Oh, and I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line
Well, I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line
Somewhere along the line
Well, I know it's just a matter of time
When the fun falls through and the rent comes due
Somewhere along the line
Whoa-whoa
Well, you know I love my woman and I would not let her down
And I did my share of loving when I used to get around
Now I'm satisfied and she is looking fine
Oh, but you pay for satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
Well, you pay for your satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
Hey, it's good to be a young man and to live the way you please
Yes, a young man is the king of every kingdom that he sees
There's an old and feeble man not far behind
Oh, and it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
Well, it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
Well, you know it's gonna catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
A-whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa-oh-oh
