My Pinata Baby

I been walkin 'round blindfold since my baby left me.
Done all there is to do, seen all there is to see.
I been walking 'round blindfold since my baby left me.
I don't mind dyin'--I don't think this world has much in store for me.

If I had a club I'd swing like old Big Mac (Mark McGuire).
I'd take a whack at the demons I can't shake off my back.
If I had a club baby, I would surely strike back.
My baby left me with nothin' but this old gunnysack.

I said, my pinata baby wants nothin' doin' with me.
I got turned around, and now my pinata baby might as well be way across the sea.
Stole my heart away, yeah, and ran off to Italy, Italy.

These boots are walkin'. These nerves are jumpin'.
I tried to tell my baby, "I love you"-- or something
Close to it.
These boots are walkin', these nerves are jumpin',
And I'm tryin' to hide the feeling that I ain't worth a pin.

Cause I been walkin' round blindfold since my baby left me--
Stumblin', mumblin', bumpin' into everythin'.
Walkin' round blindfold. Hey, baby, why'd you leave me?
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I don't think this world has much in store for me.
Said I don't mind dyin', I don't think there's much left of me.
No, I don't mind dyin',
Lord above! There's got to be a better place for me...
