"Little Piece Of Me" lyrics

I got a little piece of me that I left here in this town
Every time I come back, I always have a little look around
Yeah, that little old chunk of little old me
I'm wondering where that piece might be
Got a little piece of me I left here in this town

I been coming here since 1971
I didn't get a lot of sleep back then, but I sure had fun
Oh, half a century come and gone
How much longer can this go on?
Hey, I'm coming here since 1971

Oh, yes I laughed and certainly I have cried
Quite a few that I have loved have up and died
But I'm eternal you could say
I'm immortal, maybe for today
Oh, yes I laughed and certainly I have cried

And my future's being subsumed by my past
Every time I come back here, might be my last time here
One of these days I'll be gone
All that will be left is this song
My future's being subsumed by my past

I got pieces of me that are strewn around the globe
There's not much left, I'm lightening up my load
I leave a dollop here and a particle there
And I'm stripteased down to my underwear
Hey, I got pieces of me strewn around the globe

And there's a dog that's barking in a room next door
As if to remind me, ain't got a whole lot more time left
Oh, don't put us down, that mutt and me
Just put us out of our misery
Got a dog that's barking in a room next door

There's a little piece of me I left here in this town
Every time I come back, I'm looking in the lost and found
Yeah, for that little old chunk of little old me
I'm wondering where that piece might be
Hey, little piece of me I left here in this town
