Well I left my baby for a dream as lovely |
|
For a love that's only in books I read. |
|
And then I hit the cities, spent all my money |
|
I just left my whole life in a taxi cab. |
|
Cause it's just a memory, I can't love completely |
|
When you're really with me, I'm indifferent. |
|
But I try to get my head clear |
|
It's too full of ideas |
|
That I haven't thought of yet. |
|
And time, clocks keep waving their hands, |
|
Doing all that they can |
|
to get our attention, but |
|
The days fly away |
|
Down a clean interstate |
|
And I'm staring drunk at a map. |
|
So I let my hair down for the second time now, |
|
For the final time, now I had my fun. |
|
But there's no returning from the places we've been, |
|
Just repeat our slogan, never again. |
|
So we split, said you had to get out, |
|
Headed back to the south, |
|
Where everything is gentle. |
|
And I stayed for a couple weeks more, |
|
All the weather reports |
|
Said it would be snow for sure |
|
But the storm moved away |
|
To a neighboring state |
|
I started the car. |
