Joel, Billy - Somewhere Along The Line Lyrics
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
Somewhere along the line
Sweet Virginia Cigarette
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
But I know your gonna get me
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
Well, you know I love my woman
And I would not let her down
And I did my share of lovin'
When I used to get around
Now I'm satisfied that she is lookin' fine
But 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
But it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line

Joel, Billy Somewhere Along The Line Comments
Truly one of the most gifted songwriters of the 20th century.
Amazing. Just masterpiece after masterpiece, he was great in the 1970s. Glad I got to see him at Madison Sq garden in the 1970s 2x
🎵❤🎵
This sounds like Jim Croce is singing this.. Kinda>..
I hate unskipible ads
I lost the staring contest.
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 hell to pay
Somewhere along the line
Sweet Virginia cigarette burin' 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
Well the fun falls through and the rent comes due
Somewhere along the line
Well you know I love my woman,
And I would not let her down,
And I did my share of lovin' when I used to get around
Now I'm satisfied,
And she is lookin' fine
Oh but you pay for your satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
But 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 ev'ry kingdom that he sees
But there's an old and feeble man not far behind
Oh that surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
That surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line

thank you for lyrics
Great song, all the way through.
Used to love this... but it has a different vibe now that I am (shudder) older, lol.
Top three albums: Cold Spring harbor
River of Dreams
Piano man
It did catch up to me....that sweet Virginia cigarette but don't cry for me Argentina. The women were heaven;
The work was Hell,
and everything in the middle was worth the chance and I took it.
I highly recommend it all !
This comment is one of the best I've read. Many great reference. I applaud you. Also, I hope that sweet Virginia cigarette didn't catch up to you before your time.
The image looks like Billy Joel as a zombie.
He looks strung out. Refer to the lyrics in 'Captain Jack'.....
excellent
"Well, you know I love my woman, and I would not let her down." Goodness, Billy sings that line so beautifully. I love the sound of the keyboards as he sings "woman."

genius ............ i love how his songs are simple yet complex and deep at the same time ........ he has the simplicity of communicating a message so anyone gets it but at the same they are worded in a way that touch you deep down ......... absolute genius
could listen to old bj all day and night Burrum
Billy Joel, you are my therapy
Probably the best song off of "Piano Man" very underrated
One of the best album`s of all time.
Very true
I'd never taken much notice of this song. But last night at his Manchester gig the chap I sat next to said it was his favourite for a long time. I can now see why...
