I couldn't get it right

Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll
So I hit the road and made my getaway
Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching for a better way

But I kept on looking for a sign
In the middle of the night
But I couldn't see the light
No I couldn't see the light
I kept on looking for a way
To take me through the night
I couldn't get it right
I couldn't get it right

L.A. fever made me feel alright
But I must admit it got the best of me
Getting down, so deep
I could have drowned
Now, I can't get back the way I used to be
(repeat chorus)

New York City took me with the tide
And I nearly died from hospitality
Left me stranded, took away my pride
Just another no account fatality
(repeat chorus
