Kokomo

I got laid off again, I got laid off again
When I showed for work they say don’t come ‘round no more
Just pick up your check and show yourself out the door

My pay stub, it was short, my pay stub, it was short
The manager says it’s out of my control
Take it up with the owner’s, they’re down in Kokomo

Headed down to the bus, headed down to the bus
Sign on the shelter say “Metro gone on strike.
If you wanna get home take a taxi or take a hike”

Walked up Chaney Street, walked up Chaney Street
Walked on past the Guns and Ammo store
Then I turned around and walked right through that door

Man said “Come on in”, Man said “Come on in.
Is there anything I can do for you today?”
Then I grabbed his gun and blowed that dude away

They gonna hear me now, they gonna hear me now
They took my job but they won’t take anymore
They gonna hear my guns all the way to Kokomo

All the way, all the way
All the way, all the way
They gonna hear my guns all the way to Kokomo
