about

A song I wrote in the 1980s.. I used to call it a song about leaving which it is. It was also called C.R.A.P.....which stood for something...Do you know?

lyrics

This Time Around
Your back in the city
On your own but that's alright this time around
Nobody knows where you come from
So you tell them that you're from some other town
So far away gray was the field where you left her
Waving down a dusty road
Her hand was waving like a flag on a pole
When you said goodbye goodbye goodbye
And hello to the highway sign
And hello to the dotted line
And hello to an empty seat
She used to sit right there
I'll take the blame you make the move
Quick change of lanes under the over pass
Lights on the ground getting closer
The stars look farther away
There's a bobtail pulling up the right side
There's a Greyhound pullin up the left look out
There's a pickup pulling up floodlights on
And a railroad crossing up ahead
And you remember what she said when you left
You think about it over and over
She never believed you'd leave
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
'till you're back in the city
Where the days don't end when the sun goes down
You got one room on the first floor
It's two doors down to the liquor store
A cup of coffee in the morning
The television on all night
Smoking cigarettes round 'till the filter burns down
See the smoke pulling into the light
Did you catch the name of the girl in the leather gown
Or were you too fucked up to write it down
Another blues band played your one night stand
All you took home was a good God dam
There's a pay phone ringing in the alley
A fight breaking out in the hall
A couple going at it in the room next store
The sound whips through the crack in the wall
And you remember what she said as you left you think about it
Over and over
She never believed you'd leave
Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
'till you're back in the city on your own but that's alright
This time around
