Something went wrong back there
Something I’d rather not talk about
Something you could figure out if you have access to medical records

Hey–that’s all I’m going to say about it
If you want to get up and go, just get up and go
Don’t gotta wait for someone to say OK
Just say okay yourself, open the car door and you’re gone

I’m starting a new life
I’m starting a new life
And it will be all right
I’m starting a new life right now

Maybe I’ll stop in Cleveland, work at the bus station
Build a little house at the edge of the suburbs, watch the Indians 4 times a summer
Consider buying season tickets, but never getting down to it
But that’s all right
They haven’t won a thing in years

Maybe I’ll roll all the way to New York City
My luck cannot get any worse than it was
Maybe I’ll do something–extraordinary
Write about God for the New York Times–play ball with the kids like Willie Mays
Live with a South American girl named Aquanita
Maybe I’ll be a lucky man from here on in
Maybe when I’m done with New York City
I’ll go on back to Atlantic City
The tables will be my domain–I will be king of Atlantic City
Middle age men will come up to me–and kiss my ring
Is there anything I can do for you
Is there anything I can get for you

I’m starting a new life
I’m starting a new life
And it will be all right
I’m starting a new life right now

I can’t tell you were I’m going
I can only say where I been
I don’t want to talk about what’s been happening
I don’t even understand it
I don’t want to say anything at all

I’m starting a new lif
I’m starting a new life
And it will be all right
New life
