lyrics

I used to think nobody but you could see the things i love
you were sweet to me as an empty bar

all i could do was play guitar and drink
from here to st augustine
i was a walking jukebox

you didn't want me at all
you just loved to talk
i'd take your words
put it right in a song

where did i play...

paris & pleasant mountain
my green swinging ship
alabama room of leaves
to the crocs in new orleans
to the seattle rain
the burning phoenix flying J
singing
"I hope you never come home baby"

you used to sing your so cool
i wrote you a thousand little books
you were sweet to me like all the broken cars

all you could do was play guitar and leave
from here to st augustine
you were a walking jukebox

you didn't want me at all
you just loved my words
you could take them
put it right in a song

and where did you play...

paynes prairee
cascade mountains
watching the cruise ships
wallingford blue bridge rain
lincolnville alone on my birthday
to the dogs of carkeek
walking forever in my dreams
i hope you never come home baby
