Jon Gibson - Man Overboard lyrics

Oh-oh-oh... Ah-ah, yeah Oh-oh-oh... La, la, la Into the night looking for something That I thought I needed Off on a flight wearing the clothes That keep me low and out of sight There's a man over there trying not to stare As I walk across the street I said, "how you doing, man? I am in a jam and I need some money" There's no telling who I'll have to lean on I'm just a prisoner caught in the neon I'm just a man overboard drowning in the sea I'm going down in the big city Sure don't wanna be standing next to me When I'm counting my last penny Oh, yeah, la, la, la, la, la, la Standing here braced waiting for anything That's bound to happen It's easily traced when a man's feelings Are written across his face He looked into my eyes and to my surprise He grabbed me by the shirt and said: "If you got trouble, son, it has just begun And I'll tell you something else There's no telling how many I've stepped on" I'm just a prisoner caught in the neon I'm just a man overboard drowning in the sea I'm going down in the big city Sure don't wanna be standing next to me When I'm counting my last penny Oh, yeah, la, la, la, la, la, la Just a man overboard drowning in the sea I'm going down in the big city Sure don't wanna be standing next to me When I'm counting my last penny I'm just a man overboard drowning in the sea I'm going down in the big city Sure don't wanna be standing next to me When I'm counting my last penny Penny, penny, penny, penny I wish somebody'd listen to me Just a man overboard, ain't nobody special I'll never be what I should be 'Cause I'm just a man overboard I ain't got a dime to my name And I'm drownin' in shame I'm just a man overboard Won't somebody listen I'll never be what I should be...
