Uptown Ruler

A long tall daddy And his common law wife Shuffled out of Buffalo The comfortable life Holding hands they went To meet their maker Just an old fella In his hey day suit Dreaming all the dreams About the film he'd shoot He said Hey you know I ain't no Pennebaker Bridge ~ I'm leaving Can't keep holding on I'm leaving Chorus ~ I can't keep holding on I'm an uptown ruler An uptown ruler All my old friends are gone I'm an uptown ruler An uptown ruler Cast the vote And dim the light He's been drinking Ol' Grandad Every night Where things are right And where the air is cooler The Glory Days They came and went His mane it was luxuriant Now Ol' Grandad He's the uptown ruler Bridge Chorus And on the days when time goes by He just hangs his head and sighs And on the days when time stands still That's the days when looks could kill Bridge Chorus An uptown ruler An I could fool her I'm an uptown ruler An uptown ruler An uptown ruler I'm a ruler I'm an uptown ruler An uptown ruler
