I've been feelin' in the way Kinda underfoot on a saturday Sun it don't mean to hurt I guess But the bright lights are harsh when your trying to rest I know you've been working some overtime In your granddad's kitchen trying to make a dime The old joke stands, cause it's true I guess That when you find what your looking for, you want it less
Baby I'm on the make, in my old sport coat And my head it aches, Drinking to much tonight and it ain't right And a brand new coat of paint On this broke down palace, couldn't compensate For the things that I never really said to make you stay Cause I love the way you walk away
I spent the night in an old sedan It was parked by the river where the oak tree stands Try to find a station on that radio Searchin' hard for a song that I just don't know Some kind of person with a different need But all I heard was the stars as they spoke to me Ain't too tough, speakin' loud and true Telling me all the ways that I'm losing you
Baby I'm on the make, in my ole sport coat And my head it aches, I'm lettin' you down tonight and it ain't right And a brand new coat of paint On this broke down palace, couldn't compensate For the things that I never really said to make you stay Cause I love the way you walk away
I've been feelin' hard to get Like a dog hidin' out underneath the step Burnin' this bridge, cause I need the light For the see my way through the coming night Guessin' that you'd always just play the game Come a walkin' on back down the same ole lane But the grass grows high all around your door It's a sign or symbol for the things in store
Baby I'm on the make, in my ole sport coat And my head it aches, I'm drinkin' too much tonight and it ait't right And a brand new coat of paint On this broke down palace, couldn't compensate For the things that I never really said to make you stay Cause I love the way you walk away
