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
But in the morning there'll be hell to pay
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

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

    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

    Rabi Hashim
    thank you for lyrics

  8. T.... A....

    Great song, all the way through.

  9. T.... ....

    Used to love this... but it has a different vibe now that I am (shudder) older, lol.

  10. F.... G....

    Top three albums: Cold Spring harbor
    River of Dreams
    Piano man

  11. J.... R....

    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 !

    J.... R....

    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.

  12. R.... C....

    The image looks like Billy Joel as a zombie.

    R.... C....

    He looks strung out. Refer to the lyrics in 'Captain Jack'.....

  13. A.... M....

    excellent

  14. s.... ....

    "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."

  15. R.... B....

    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

  16. S.... F....

    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 

  17. N.... C....

    could listen to old bj all day and night Burrum

  18. F.... ....

    Billy Joel, you are my therapy

  19. k.... ....

    Probably the best song off of "Piano Man" very underrated

    k.... ....

    One of the best album`s of all time.

    k.... ....

    Very true

    k.... ....

    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...
