Ooh, when I see her in my T-shirt. Brushin' her teeth, dancin' to the radio. Ooh, her coffee and her kisses. The way she looks at me, I hate to see her leave.
When the lights go down. He'll be filling a pan with the broom in his hand. In some drive across town. He'll be wiping the bar and mopping the floor. Countin' his tips and locking the doors.
There's a road that goes to an old friends house. Where we grew up, where we hung out. I've Been on this highway for three hours now. And I'm trying to find it.
One of these days I'm gonna wake up. With somethin' to lose, and I'll get over you. I walk outside, I look at the sky. And for the first time, the clear blue eyes.
I work a double shift on Monday. Tuesday I get up before dawn. Wednesday pouring coffee. Thursday night I'm tending the bar. Well, when Friday night rolls around.

When I look at you these days. I think of all we've been through. You and I are one and the same. And I thank God for you. . I remember the youth and the days gone by.

Long summer days tucked in a box. Smell of rain on the sidewalk. Feel of the fall in the air. I love these drives to nowhere. . Singing la da, la da. La da da da da.
