As Far as Lonely Goes

Janis Ian, Matraca Berg

[Verse 1]
Underneath the neon sign of Harry's Bar and Grill
Someone hugs a bottle to take away the chill
Oh, but the wind still blows
Carries his sleeping soul
As far as lonely goes

[Verse 2]
Upstairs in a penthouse behind a golden door
Someone's drinking pink champagne to keep from being bored
Between the highs and lows
The icy wind still blows
As far as lonely goes

[Chorus]
You would never buy a bottle
To wash away your troubles
If you could buy a suitcase for your soul
You would make a pretty package
Of all your extra baggage
Lock it up and send it down the road
As far as lonely goes

[Verse 3]
From the has-beens to the haves
From the mansions to the alleys from the riches to the rags
Underneath our clothes
We're all the same, you know
As far as lonely goes

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
I would never buy a bottle
To wash away my troubles
If I could buy a suitcase for my soul
I would make a pretty package
Of all my extra baggage
Lock it up and send it down the road
As far as lonely goes
As far as lonely goes
