All The Friends I Ever Had Are Gone I used to be a real wheel, now I’m irrelevant Like a porno star gone celibate Used to own this place, now I’m late with the rent Used to be in charge, now I’m only a temp All the friends I ever had are gone Used to be in demand, now I’m just in the way I had a five-year plan, it lasted 28 days I wrote a book of poems and a Broadway play Was a pretty good pal, a pretty good lay But all the friends I ever had are gone I was given the keys, now they don’t come to the door And no one returns my calls anymore I was doing 75 with the sunroof down Had to sell that car and take the el into town All the friends I ever had are gone All I ever wanted was to be myself with her So if all that stuff came crashing down It wouldn’t even hurt But as it was I couldn’t even level with myself I guess I didn’t realize what all that stuff was worth I shouldn’t be telling you this, it’s only our first date Would you look at the time it’s getting late Haven’t been to the movies in such a long time Hey where you going, did I say something wrong All the friends I ever had are gone Dylan - electric piano, synthesizer, guitar John Guion - bass Mark Herr - drums Pushin’ My Car Everybody in my family They got themselves a Master’s degree My sister’s even a Ph.D. She’s a professor of biochemistry But every time I turn the key I pray to God that this time I won’t be (chorus) Pushin’ my car down the side of the road Pushin’ my car when it won’t go Oh no, pushlin’ my car out of the snow Pushin’ my car How many times have I been told I’m not living up to potential I never thought that could be so But how was I supposed to know That I’d be (repeat chorus) Well I wonder what they’re gonna say On the day I turn the tables As I pass them on the highway With ‘em waving their jumper cables Someday a great rain is gonna fall And it’ll cause my engine to never stall And all my friends will drink fine Champagne And reminisce about the early days (repeat chorus) Dylan - piano Terry Eason - guitar John Guion - bass Mark Herr - drums Go to "I Wanna be Black Sometimes" and "College Boys" Go back to "All the Rock Star Jobs..." and "City Lights" Home
