Lyrics

Drinking the smoke from a roadside cafe with a lump in my throat - I can't swallow my eggs \ I've been a fool and I've always cared for you though it hasn't always seemed that way \ Excuses are easy to find, but reasons are hard - I just run out of time \ I know I didn't call you from out on the road but you were always the one on my mind

Lately my dear I've been searching my diary for pages when you were still mine \ The words covered over by a pressed 4-leaf clover plucked from a luckier time

The secrets I keep are transparent at best \ I heard some advice that hit close to my chest \ Said "This kinda girl don't come along every day - She's a catch, don't let her get away"

I'll get some new jokes and a puppy named Folks - you'll love him from very first sight \ Then someday maybe you'll call me your baby like you did in my dreams tonight
