Well everybody here seems to like to laugh
Look at Johnny jivin' across the floor
He can play the fool and make a few mistakes
But all the same he'll never be a bore
I'm glad to be so young talkin' with my tongue
Glad to be so careless in my way
Glad to take a chance and play against the odds
I'm glad to be so crazy in my day
Well I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town yea
But me I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She is a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind
Well what was that you said when you had a tear
Rolling down your cheek the other night
I couldn't catch it all there's something going wrong
I hope you got it straightened out alright
Everything's so loud and everything's so fast
I hear your brother married once again
Yea the best of luck and all and try to have some fun
They tell me this great life can always end
Well I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town yea
But me I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She is a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind
Aey yes it is
Come I'm smilin' from a car I'm goin' for a drive
Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone flying by
Mirror's on the moon echo in the sun
See just a touch of madness in my eye
Please don't mention rain please don't talk of trains
Please don't mention buildings burning down
Everybody here seems to like to laugh
Either step in time or just don't hang around well
Well I'm goin' down to Laurel
It's a dirty stinkin' town yea
But me I know exactly what I'm goin' to find
Little girl I'm goin' to see
She is a fool for lovin' me
But she's in love and love's a funny state of mind
Oh tell me what I'm sayin' now
She's in love, love's a funny state of mind
