lyrics

Well singing songs from town to town
There ain’t no time to settle down
Driving east from Portland, stinking Christmas eve
Drunk from driving, window down
Red hot wind through an ice-cream town
All our guitars cracking, swelling from the heat

I saw her leaning by the kitchen pass, drinking water from a glass
Her working shirt clung to her, I wished that I could too
Fire to make this cold heart light, a vision there in sweat and white
I gotta talk to her I thought as I began to blush

Well I never thought I’d meet the one who made me want to stay
Who’d pull me up like buttercups when I had gone astray
But I was young and restless, roamed at my will
I burned a lot of bridges, and I weren’t about to build
Things are gonna change

That summer we slept under the pines
All day I held her hand in mine
I’d go singing, she would wait on tables after dark
I met her mother, she met mine
We smoked Marlboros and drank red wine
And I remember thinking I think now is the time

Well I never thought I’d meet the one who made we want to stay
Who’d pull the strings and see the things that I had shut away
I was young and restless, she just knocked me hard
I’d burned a lot of bridges, so she built one to my heart
Things are gonna change
