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 you split, said you had to get out
Headed back to the south, where everything is gentler
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
