These are the lyrics of a song about feeling no longer valued

————

I had a friend who I used to drink with

And a girl that would give me a smile

He and I would go to the fights some

She would kiss me at night for awhile

They wound up drinking together

They didn’t bother to tell me so

But they went from hard drinks to sweet kisses

And now they’re mister and missus

And it’s time for me to go

I’m stuck in this place with nothing to do

No one is left here that I want to know

Just give me a minute to hunt for my shoes

I just got those “Get me out of here” blues

I had a batch of kids who all loved me

Who needed me to help them to start

I tried to show them right from wrong,

I helped them figure out their part

They’ve grown up and gone their own way

They don’t have time to listen to me

Got their own families and ambitions

I don’t fit with their intentions.

So it’s time for me to go.

I’m stuck in this place with nothing to do

No one is left here that I want to know

Just give me a minute to hunt for my shoes

I just got those “Get me out of here” blues

I have no fire to warm me

No one to hold at night

I guess that’s the end of my story

So I’ll get my self on out of sight.

Don’t worry about or pity me

I’m not a one to moan

I’ll go and do because it’s time

And then yours will come and so on.

Oh Lord I knew this was coming someday

But I never knew what to do

So I guess I’ll soon be on my way

I hope the one I’ll be seeing is you
