Van Morrison Monte Carlo Blues Lyrics

[Verse]
It's a job like any others
Got a sell-by date
There's no need for you to get confused
I'm sitting here contemplating grace
With the Monte Carlo blues
Uncle Willy was a gamblin' man
He would've really enjoyed all of this
Would've seemed like the promised land
But he don't know just what he missed

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back home (Back home)
Goin' back to the states
It's good to see how the other half lives, yeah
How they get their kicks
It's all a show, this old front
But everybody here knows exactly just what they want
Rest of the world keeps on sailin' by I've got these Monte Carlo blues, alright

[Interlude]
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

[Chorus]
I'm goin' back home (Back home)
Goin' back to the states
It's good to see how the other half lives, yeah
How they get their kicks
It's all a show, this old front
But everybody here knows exactly just what they want
Rest of the world keeps on sailin' by
I've got these Monte Carlo blues

[Outro]
You say, "Hi"
I say, "Bye, bye"
To these Monte Carlo blues
You say, "Hi"
I say, "Bye-bye"
To these Monte Carlo blues
