Single Again - Alex Chilton

Today, I heard the awful news

Someone told the gospel truth

Said you’ve been running 'round

With a stranger who just hit town.

He’s got a black mustache and a red Cadillac

Now he’s got you and I’ve got two

Divorce lawyers on my back.

Single again, back on the streets again

The old bars ain’t changed much

Just a new face or two when you’re out of touch.

Single again, born to lose, dying to win

The only thing I’m running from is the alimony man

Because I’m single again.

Drifting around from bar to bar

Running into our old friends, they won’t know where ya are.

Last I heard, a little while back, you were cruising town in his Cadillac

Drinkin' champagne, showing off a diamond ring

I’m getting by in these hard times livin' from drink to drink.

Single again, back on the streets again

The old bars ain’t changed much, just a new face or two

When you’re out of touch.

Single again, born to lose, dying to win

The only thing I’m a’running from is the alimony man

'Cause I’m single again.
