Well, I wanna be where it's at, I don't really care where I just sat,
I wanna be...be right where it's at,
I got rocks in my head and a hole right in my hat.

Well, I wanna be where there's fun, I don't really care where the fun comes from,
I wanna be...be right where there's fun,
Well, I ain't coming home 'til the whole thing comes undone.

Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
When I'm dead and gone, they'll say I was a real gone cat, yeah.

Well, I wanna be where there's some trash; don't care if I spend my cold, hard cash,
I wanna be...be right where there's trash,
I've got a hand full of gold, I'm gonna turn it into ash,

Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
When I'm dead and gone, they'll say I was a real gone...yeah.

Yeah, I tried everything to be where it's at,
Well, I tried everything to be where it's at.

Well, I tried everything to be where it's at,
I tried the pills, powders and weed,
Couple of filthy women to suit my need,
It was too many parties and too many pals,
Too many Sallies and too many Sals, well, yeah,
That's what it was.

I said one time a friend of mine came up to me and says, "Man, all you gotta do is kinda stand in one spot, look up just a little bit - that's when you got it."

Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Well, I wanna be where it's at,
Oh, I wanna be where it's at,
Oh...where it's at,
I may be dead and gone, ''''
