Fury creeping and I don't know why Turn my cheek you slap me silly shy Tell me pieces of an aging yarn Stitch a quilt and keep it in the barn A place to follow and a place to sit An autumn pool in which to take a dip I wanna lie and look up at the sky I wanna rest and have...a little cry Highway cruising just a-speeding by Radio blasting soothing lullabies The top is down and the wind it is harsh We're zipping crazy through this dried up marsh You howl a tune and you howl it strong You flash a smile like there's nothing wrong I wanna grab you here and testify I wanna burst and shout...a screaming sigh Off down the street I hear a Dylan song Not sure which one, man but is sure is long Something 'bout rain a-falling hard Well I'm sweating buckets out here mowing the yard A sparkle shine the window opens wide You flash bare titties calling me inside I wanna drop it all and stop and run I wanna have a heap...of rolling fun There I sat October '99 At a South Carolina rest stop just wasting time The highway fumes they made me a little sick But I just sat there and thought of you and that did the trick It did the trick But now we're older and it's still the same You occupy a space here in my brain You roll around within my cerebellum And I damn sure love you That's what I tell 'em That's what I tell them right now That's what I told them way back when That's what I'll tell them when you're gone That's what I'll tell them when you're gone That's what I'll tell them now that you're gone Fury creeping and I don't know why |
