Hospitals And Jails Lyrics - Simple Life - Mason Jennings

We could sit beneath the evening 

And let the day turn blue 

I could never let the darkness 

Replace the thought of you 

C'mon darling let's catch that train 

To wherever we call god 

Maybe it's in massachusettes 

Or maybe not 

It's just you and i 

It's just you and i, my dear 

Just you and i 

It's just you and i 

Let's keep our boots pointed west 

Stay left of the police 

I know you're like a freight train 

To escape your family 

You've got a father who has done you wrong 

And a mother who doesn't care 

Get your backbone up my darling 

Let down your hair 

It's just you and i 

It's just you and i, my dear 

Just you and i 

It's just you and i 

When all the world turns into hospitals and jails 

I can always count on your love to be my bail 

And we'll go traveling on from year to year 

Just you and i, my dear 

I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons 

Of cigarettes, cigarettes 

I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says 

No regrets, no regrets 

I've got your love draped all around me like 

A big black cape, a big black cape 

All the billboards on the highway say 

Don't be late, don't be late 

It's just you and i 

It's just you and i 

When all the world turns into hospitals and jails 

I can always count on your love to be my bail 

We'll go traveling on from year to year 

Just you and i, my dear 

Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor 

I was listening for your knocking 

But you weren't outside my door 

And i know that you won't be coming 'round 

In the way i want you to 

I wish you'd throw your arms around me 

But it's not for me 

It's not for me 

It'll be just me 

It'll be just me 

And i know i never told you how i felt 

But you could never understand the blues that you have dealt me 

So i'll keep traveling on from year to year 

It'll be just me, my dear 

It'll be just me, my dear 

Same thing year after year 

It'll be just me, my dear
