Where's that angel with dirty knees who wasn't hard to please when we first met? |
|
She don't act like she needs me now and she don't even seem to be upset. |
|
Maybe I cover too much ground, I've been from town to town since I grew up. |
|
Could my dreams take up too much space? I'll never find a place that's big enough. |
|
The chairs go up on the bar now, and the table lights go black, |
|
So I order one last double and start calling people back. |
|
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard. Couldn't punch a card to save his life. |
|
Says he's glad that he quit the road, he says he's getting old, he missed his wife. |
|
Little Em's been asleep since nine, I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is. |
|
Dad won't answer his phone at night, but I guess that's alright, the place is his. |
|
The chairs are up on the bar now and they're asking me to leave, |
|
So I give the girl a bill and start rolling down my sleeves. |
|
In my pocket directions back across the railroad tracks to where I crash. |
|
Maybe I should wave down a car, I won't be going far, and I have cash. |
|
Think I blocked just a park away, but I can't really say, it's been all night. |
|
How I wish you would call me here, but you just disappeared, it wasn't right. |
|
And the streetlights help a little, but they're barely half alive |
|
I don't feel much like walking and I sure as hell can't drive. |
|
Close your eyes and remember this. It won't be back again, it's almost gone. |
|
Even times that don't seem like much will be your only crutch when you're alone. |
|
Time moves slow when you're seventeen and then it picks up steam at twenty-one. |
|
Pretty soon you'll remember when you could remember when you loved someone. |
