Lyrics:
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
Knew it was time to put this suit away
When I ripped the knees open eating the pavement

Doris loved her American cars
This one’s seen just about every state
When it came time to take the keys away
She said “hey”

Hey hey hey
“Why’d you have to go
and do me like that?
Don’t you know?
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore.”
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore

No one’s home at the hotel bar
I’ve been out looking for a silver lining
Just found a stray hair in the bedding
Maybe I’ll drive out to the ocean
I heard someone order the Clams Casino
I said, “hey what’s that?” they said, “I dunno”
Her voice echoes in my head–

“Why’d you have to go
and do me like that?
Don’t you know?
I’m looking at my last chance.”

Hey, I might never land on solid ground
Part of me will always be in the clouds
in my old suit, in a hotel room
But I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore

I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore
I don’t wanna laugh alone anymore

  1. I guess, I just guess, that Rahim Redcar was inspired by this Video, doing the one he/she puplished later the same year.
    Same sequence of walking on a road in a wood.
    But most of All, this one is a phantastic song !

  2. 103.3 The North PBS radio out of Duluth MN…I think 1957 as first alternative music themed station. Heard this today. Seriously, I bookmark 10 songs daily. This music is there, just not as commercially feasible (coin) than the other crap. Keep listening, promoting and sharing my brethren!
