Car broke down on the side of the road
Well, I'm pretty young, yeah, but I'm gettin' old
In my pocket was my girlfriend's phone
A tow truck's comin', gonna take me home
It's kinda funny, but it's the same old story
(Same old story, yeah)
Nobody 'round here like me
(Same old story, yeah)
And I wonder how it came that I am
Just another man stuck in the middle of this great, great land
I sit down underneath a shady tree
I balance the pack of Camels on my knee
I thought about my friend, he phoned last night
Well, his gig went well, yeah, his show went all right
The women were crazy and the music was loud
(Same old story, yeah)
My friend got wild, jumped into the crowd
(Same old story, yeah)
He laughed and asked me to help him understand
How he's just another man stuck in the middle of this great, great land
It's the same old story, yeah
Tow truck's comin', smoke pouring out from the hood
Well, I'm no mechanic, but I know that ain't good
The tow truck man come and sit around
Both of us wonderin' who comes
When the tow truck breaks down
It's kinda funny, but it's the same old story
(Same old story, yeah)
Nobody 'round here like me
(Same old story, yeah)
And I wonder how it came that I am
Just another man, stuck in the middle of this great, great land
(Same old story, yeah)
It's the same old story, yeah
It's the same old story, yeah
It's the same old story, yeah
