The money would be pretty good
If a quart of milk were still a dollar
Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart
And the hours, well, I dont mind
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in
Guess I married too young,
Yeah, nineteen was just too young,
But sometimes you meet someone
And your guts just burn
Its not that I dont love him anymore
Its just that when I hear him
Coming through that front door
My heart doesnt race like it did once before
But Ive got a horse out in the country
I get to see him every second sunday
He comes when I call him,
Yeah, he knows his name
One day Ill saddle up
And the two of us will ride away
This weather I could almost stand
If the sun would shine a little brighter
Or even if the sun would shine at all
But lately it just seems to me
That this life has lost its mystery
And these cold fall mornings seem to b***
Just a little bit harder
And all my friends have settled down
Become their mothers and their fathers
Without a sound
Except for cathy,
She bought a one-way subway ticket
And left us all behind
But Ive got a horse out in the country
I get to see him every second sunday
He comes when I call him,
Yeah, he knows his name
One day Ill saddle up
And the two of us will ride away
This town wouldnt be so bad
If a girl could trust her instincts
Or even if a girl could trust a boy
If a quart of milk were still a dollar
Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart
And the hours, well, I dont mind
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in
Guess I married too young,
Yeah, nineteen was just too young,
But sometimes you meet someone
And your guts just burn
