Slow Boat To Hoboken Lyrics by Otis Ball

I’m Gonna Love You ’Til I Don’t

0

When she called, said “get out here now”
But it’s so far away
[?] nope the contracts wait
I really oughta stay
She said there’s nothing here
Your chats have made that clear
So long, little town
Slow boat to Hoboken
Laid awake for a week or so
Got all my laundry done
Called again, said I had to go
Looked around, for I had none
I recognize that voice
You said I had no choice
I’m choking on my words
Slow boat to Hoboken
Called you up, told you what she said
I talked and wouldn’t quit
Hung it up and the doorbell rang
Packed me up and made me slip
Could be I’ll miss this place
I’m counting every face
And kissing fish goodbye
Slow boat to Hoboken
Put my mind on a leash tonight
I couldn’t break away
Thought i knew what I oughta do
She told me what to say
I guess I’ve compromised
My ideals circumcised
I’ve hit the big time now
Slow boat, slow boat
Slow boat, slow boat
Slow boat to Hoboken
