Sheraton Gibson
Townshend Pete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson
And boy do I want to go home.
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson
And boy do I feel all alone.
Cleveland, you blow my mind.
Cleveland, I wish I were home this time.
Don't want to be unkind .
But I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson
Thinkin' 'bout a sunny barbeque
I'm sitting in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson
And my mind is a Cleveland afternoon.
Cleveland, you blow my mind.
Cleveland, I wish I were home this time
Don't want to be unkind.
Cleveland, you blow my mind.
Cleveland, I wish I were home this time.
Don't want to be unkind.

Oh Cleveland, you blow my mind.
Oh Cleveland, I wish I were home this time
Don't want to be unkind.





But I'm sitting in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson
And boy do I want to go home
