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 city, 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 we split, said you had to get out
Headed back to the south, where everything is gentle
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
