We live just a little while, then somebody takes our place
But I`m here right and I don`t want to leave
Without leaving a trace.
We live a little while, then everything must change,
It might get better, it might get worse,
It never stays the same.
Chorus: Right now, I`m having a good time,
But right now I feel fine.
You can tell by the look in this boy`s eye
That I`m happy to be here, and that ain`t no line,
All right, all right, all right.
Shotgun in a Pontiac on a summer night,
Over ninety miles of interstate playing my guitar,
and I was feeling all right.
That`s when I fell in love, hey, that`s when I made my choice.
For the first time I knew it didn`t matter what happened,
I was one of those boys.
Chorus:
Number 38, Catalina Hotel,
I got a cable TV and a picture on my wall of a wishing well;
I got a family and a life back home,
Man, it`s a long time leaving a short stop staying
Where I`m not alone.
Chorus:
