Our separation seems forever
I'll do it if it's what you like
Go take your bags to New York City
Call me when your plane arrives
I'll feed the children, wash the dishes
I'll keep the house lookin' nice
Well, don't you worry now
Everything's gonna be alright
It's been snowin' this October
Turnin' grass into grain
Do you see much past your hotel window
Friday nights with your gang?
I can only hope that things were different
And darlin' do you feel the same
Every time you're drinkin' wine in the rain?
Oh, oh,
All you said you've seen is my face in a magazine
My hair slicked back and clean or so it seemed
And now anyone can say that a man shouldn't live this way
So take your pretty poison right into the grave
We'll never change
I sold our house, the 3rd December
We're livin' where our feet done land
And the babies screams, they might get to heaven
But they're buried far 'neath the sand
All I know's my mind's done thinkin'
my mouth's doin' what it can
To keep the rhythm and put a nickel back in your hand
Oh, oh,
All you said you've seen is my face in a magazine
My hair slicked back and clean or so it seemed
And now anyone can say that a man shouldn't live this way
So take your pretty poison right into the grave
Dancin' naked out in the rain
Put your own pain ever paid, they'll never change
Oh, they'll never change
We all never change
