Mr. Doodles

(album: On The Move - 1976)

Hello Mr. Doodles, this is Ms. Doodles
I thought I'd call you up to say hello
And tell you that I miss you and I wish that I were with you
But I guess I'm telling you something you already know

Well how is California? It's raining here in Nashville
Did you tell your ol' Mom and Dad I said hello
Yes, I've already double-locked the door and I'm being careful
I just wished you'd hurry up and come on home

'Cause I don't know if I can get myself asleep with you gone
You know we're always together and I don't know how to be alone
It's like life's not touching me and I'm just passing through
And now I realize how much you are me and I am you

Oh nothing's really wrong, I just been working on that song so long
I don't know if I'll ever get it right
I drove out to the farm and the roof is almost on the barn
And I just sat and watched the cows a little while

And wondered if a farmer and a city dude could make it there with me and you
Make that place feel like home and be glad with it someday
I know we've gotta settle down and quit our love this running 'round
And if that were you want to live with me then I guess it's ok

I'm just having a little trouble going to sleep with you gone
You know we're always together and I don't know how to be alone
It's like lives not touching me and I'm just passing through
And now I realize how much you are me and I am you

Well it's bedtime Mr. Doodles, I love you Mr. Doodles
I guess I better say goodnight though I've had a busy day
Yes I already double-locked the door and I'm being careful
This old house and I just wishing, but I guess we'll be ok

Will you come home and I can get myself to sleep with you gone
You know we're always together and I don't know how to be alone
It's like life's not touching me and I'm just passing through
And now I realize how much you are me and I am you
