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 ca
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 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 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
