Paradise Alley - Foghat

From the Foghat album "Boogie Motel".

Lyrics:
Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast.

All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain.
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone.
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.

Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.

You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
To think of all the love I had for you.

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.

{Rod - Slide Solo}

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone.
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home.

Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah.

{Rod - Solo to fade}

I bought this when it came out too. I've been looking for this song on 'tube for a while. Thanks for posting. Their hit "Third Time Lucky" was on this album, but I thought this was the best song on the album.

Not sure but I THINK this was there last album of the Stone Blue era. I was always the kid that bought the albums in my neighborhood to check them out when they first came out and then turn my friends on since I had a job. I rememeber buying this and thinking it sucked besides this song. Thought it was halfway decent enough...

There was a time when Foghat was banging huge, and then kind of a joke. But I really gotta give them credit for keeping their music evolving. I got hooked with Stone Blue and was a fan til the end. I had this album and loved it.

I'm 22, I've listen to this song since 2003, that's part of my life.
