Baby, have you been to the sun?
You can dance like Buddy Holly
But you won't get what you want if you don't got the right shoes
Baby, have you been to the sun?
You can burn out at the turn out
With the good times leaving you cashed, trashed, and used
Baby, have you been to the sun?
You can wind up a famous doll
And let the press read all about it in the news
Baby, have you been to the sun?
You can drink all the whiskey in the world
But you still can't get enough to black out the blues
Someday I'm gonna die
And crawl out of that hole in the sky
Oh well,
I won't remember a thing I've done
Baby, have you been to the sun?
Baby, have you been to the sun?
With the promise of a good time
The skin socks line the blocks just to push and shove
Baby, have you been to the sun?
Why speak of love, or the lack of it
When there's a golden ball of plenty shining down from above?
Someday I'm gonna die
And lose the picture that's behind my eye
Oh well,
I will tap my head and let it run
Baby, have you been to the sun?
