Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail
|
Seems like every Friday evenin'
|
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 walkin'
|
Through the walls of a broken home
|
Not a man round here still standin'
|
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 sittin' in his kitchen laughin '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
|
|
Chorus
|
And there's a lot of people runnin' 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
|
Wondrin' 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
|
Lookin' 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 runnin'
|
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
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
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 dreamin'
|
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
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
