Looks like another early night in Carolina
I"ve got a movie, black and white, and a bottle of red wine
If I answered, if you called me, I would say I"m doing fine
and I"d like to think we"d both know I was lying
Cause when I close my eyes I"m sitting there in Brooklyn
spilling hot soup on the tiles of my brother"s kitchen floor
and if I find myself tonight, I swear it"s not cause I was looking
If I haven"t shown up yet, what am I good for?
But somewhere between Michigan and Texas,
I do believe that I"ll be new again
and no matter where I go I feel my fickle heart forgetting
She"d make a home out of anywhere I"ve been
I bought myself a brand new pair of blue jeans
"cause I"m tired of being righteous, playing every game for keeps
most of all I"m tired of riding shot gun in my dreams
and I just want something simple, something clean
Somewhere between Delaware and Georgia
I made trouble, and I learned to call it a friend
Now I"m promised, but I promise, if you"d just lend me a quarter
I would call you up and call you home again
