"Nineteen In Naples" lyrics
"Nineteen In Naples"
Well, when I was 19 I was insecure
Now ain't that 19
I was over intellectual, that's for sure
19 in Naples, well
19, 19 in Naples
I had American money falling outta my pants
19, 19
Italian train tickets falling outta my hands
19 in Naples
19, 19 in Naples
When I was 19, I went across the sea
And I found myself in Italy
Oh, 19, 19 in Naples
Uh oh, I'm walking in an alley
Italian kids are looking at me funny
They're sorta surrounding me
And they think that maybe I got money
And they're looking at my wallet
This almost was a wrong turn for me
Well, I didn't like this and I didn't like that
19, 19
I was such a little brat
19 in Naples
19, 19 in Naples, guitar
Uh oh yeah
I'm checking into the "pension"
It's 2 am
I'm carrying my bags
The Italian guys are playing poker in their underwear
Yeah under the green light in the lobby
I'll always remember that
My big impression
Well, when I was 19 I went across the pond
19, 19
And I found myself in the demi monde
19 in Naples, yeah
19 19 in Naples
All right
19 19 in Naples
Yeah
19 19 in Naples
19 19 in Naples
