Black Top Island (Of the West)

Lyrics

[Intro] Black Top Island of the west It's just too much for me, uh huh And my God, I need a rest Because it goes as far as I can [Verse 1] The fine old town is now a slick new city And it's all lookin' to me a little bit too pretty I can't understand stayin' here so long So I sit here all alone, and try to write me a song [Chorus] To make it alright It's quite a sight Black Top Island of the west [Verse 2] Well, I took a walk just the other day And I met a policeman along the way Now, he took me in for no reason at all Locked me up in this building oh so tall He cut my hair and told me to forget it That's what I'm trying to do, you folks just don't get it [Chorus] I say, what are we a-coming to? Where there's place for you Get out, get out while you can That's what I can't understand Black Top Island of the west [Outro] Black Top Island of the west Black Top Island of the west Black Top Island of the west (Oh) Black Top Island of the west (Yeah) I need a rest, ah Black Top Island of the west (Got to get away) I need a rest, ah (Yeah) Black Top Island of the west (I got to get away) I need a rest, ah (I got to get away) Black Top Island of the west (Oh yeah) I need a rest, ah (Ooh, I got to get away) Black Top Island of the west (Yeah, I got to get away) I need a rest, ah (I got to get away, yeah) Black Top Island of the west
