Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail
Seems like every Friday evenin
Shed find herself in Jail
Not a friend this side of Houston
With the time to throw her bail
But shell be fine, shell 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 theres still time, theres 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 hed ever cared for
Was the one hed never found
But Hell be fine, Hell 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 its time, now its time
Chorus
And theres a lot of people runnin round
Not quite sure which way to go
But as for me I believe I finally found
Its 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 shed 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 worlds 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 nows the time to try
If I cant find someone to hold me
My dreams will surely die
And Ill be gone, Ill 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
Seems like every Friday evenin
