Lyrics
Out Of Sync
Verse
I'm like a miscast actor in a misdirected film
Or the volunteer who never gets a chance
I'm like the marcher who's always out of step
The guy at the club who's never asked to dance
I never found a sweet home in old Alabam
I'm the Hawaiian that doesn't like the waves
The guy in Detroit, Michigan who never learned to drive
The man from Utah City that's not been saved
Chorus
I come from Milwaukee, but I've not encountered fame
I've never known the way to San Jose
I was born in San Francisco but can't recall myself
Ever sitting on the dock of the bay
Verse
I got lots of sleep long before I got to Brooklyn
I went to Clarkesville on the third last train
And now I'm well and truly stuck inside of Mobile
But I've got the Albuquerque blues again
Chorus
I come from Milwaukee, but I've not encountered fame
I've never known the way to San Jose
I was born in San Francisco but can't recall myself
Ever sitting on the dock of the bay
Verse
I'm pretty sure that Indiana's never wanted me
I dreamed in California but it always rained
By the time I got to Phoenix she wasn't waiting there
Been to Georgia but never on a midnight train
Chorus
I come from Milwaukee, but I've not encountered fame
I've never known the way to San Jose
I was born in San Francisco but can't recall myself
Ever sitting on the dock of the bay
