Easy Come Easy Go
(专辑: Flowers & Liquor - 2002)
Jamie was a
barmaid at the
Underground Longrail Seems like every Friday evening She'd find herself in Jail Not a
friend this side of Houston With the
time to throw her bail But she'll be fine, she'll be fine Spent a
lifetime walking Through the
walls of a
broken home Not a
man round here still standing For the
girl to call her own Every time she tried to hold him She just ended up alone But there's still time, there's still time Davey drove a
taxi Through the
streets of Boston town Like the
billboards up above him The
world just wore him down Only soul he'd ever cared for Was the
one he'd never found But he'll be fine, he'll be fine Broken half of winter, with a
wind chill ten below Davey sitting in his kitchen laughing 'bout How the
world had done him so Then the
postman burst his bubble With a
letter from below And now it's time, now it's time And there's a
lot of people running round Not quite sure which way to go But as for me I
believe I
finally found It's just easy come and easy go Jamie grabbed a
bottle, threw her apron on the
bar Packed her whole world in a
suitcase And tossed it in the
car Woke up in Texarkana Wondring how she'd got this far And on her own, on her own Stranger at the
motel let Jamie stay for free She was gone before the
daybreak On her ways to Tennessee Looking to make the
whole world over Into a
place she wants to be But not alone, not alone Davey left his taxi In the
bottom of a
Beantown lake He said this whole world's full of chances And this is one I
gotta take So he caught the
line to Nashville To finally find his break And make a
home, make a
home As the
train flew out of Boston His whole world passed him by He said I
spent a
lifetime running And now's the
time to try If I
can't find someone to hold me My dreams will surely die And I'll be gone, I'll be gone When Davey hit the
pavement The
sky was almost gray He lit a
smoke off of the
sidewalk To drive the
storm away And when Jamie turned the
corner With the
world upon her brow Davey said I
must be dreaming How could this happen now And then she walked right towards him Looked him right up in the
eye Davey reached out for forever And Jamie walked on by
