CORNER OF THE ROUNDHOUSE
(by Mike "Mad Dog" Adams)
WAY BACK IN 1980 I TALKED TO OL' PAT DAILEY
ABOUT A PLACE THAT HE CALLED PUT -IN-BAY HE SAID HE LOVED SO WELL
SO ME AND MY OLD DRINKIN' PAL
BETTER KNOWN AS FIDDLER HAL
WE WENT THERE TO THE ISLAND
AND WE REALLY RAISED SOME HELL
WE WALKED RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR
UNDER THAT NEON WHISKEY SIGN
EVERYONE WAS SO DAMN CRAZY
LORD IN NEARLY BLEW MY MIND

IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
IS WHERE WE ALL BELONG
LIVING OUT OUR FANTASIES
AND WEARING OUT OLD SONGS
ITS YOUR HOUSE ITS MY HOUSE
ITS EVERYBODYS HOME
IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE

BEN DOVER AND THE SCREAMERS
THEY WERE PLAYING TO THE DREAMERS
THEY WERE BLOWING OUT THE DOORS ALL NIGHT LONG
NOW BEN HE WAS NO JIMI
BUT HIM AND HIM SANG GIMME
THREE STEPS AND SOME LYNYRD SKYNYRD SONGS
AND YOU'D HEAR BRUCE AND BONNIE
ON A LONG HOT SUNDAY NIGHT
YOU MIGHT BE HUNG OVER
BUT THEY'D MAKE YA FEEL ALL RIGHT

IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
IS WHERE WE ALL BELONG
LIVING OUT OUR FANTASIES
AND WEARING OUT OLD SONGS
ITS YOUR HOUSE ITS MY HOUSE
ITS EVERYBODYS HOME
IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE

I BEEN HERE NOW FOR MANY YEARS AND LORD THE LAUGHS OUTWEIGH THE TEARS
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE HERE ALL THAT LONG
BUT EVERYTIME I HIT THE STAGE
AND SOME ONE YELLS OUT TURN THE PAGE
I KNOW I WROTE THE BOOK
BUT SEGER WROTE THE SONG
THIS PARTY KEEPS ON KILLING
BUT LORD I'M GLAD I DRINK FOR FREE
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I CAN DO NO WRONG

IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
IS WHERE WE ALL BELONG
LIVING OUT OUR FANTASIES
AND WEARING OUT OLD SONGS
ITS YOUR HOUSE ITS MY HOUSE
ITS EVERYBODYS HOME
IN THE CORNER OF THE ROUND HOUSE
YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE
