Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Because of Toledo
[Verse 1]
Because of Toledo
I got sober and stayed clean
Pickups in the wild prairies
Shadows dancing in between
Girl leans on your jukebox
In a pair of old blue jeans
Says I live here but I don't really
Live anywhere

[Verse 2]
Because of Toledo
Tuesday, it's raining
And I'm pulling on my shoes
Guess I quit believing in
Early morning news
There's a boy order his coffee
And settled down to think
How the women that you love sometimes
Are the water that you drink
Then another faded waitress, dressed in pink

[Bridge]
Cries for Toledo
The lipstick and the cocaine traces
One face in a thousand faces
I stumble through so many places
[Verse 3]
Because of Toledo
The highway looks so thin
I see another motel sign
And I think of pulling in
Write your name upon the mirror there
Only secret that I know
But I guess that I'd be only
Chasing rainbows
