I took the polaroid down in my room I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend It's not as if I don't like you It just makes me sad whenever I see it
Cause I like to be gone most of the time And you like to be home most of the time If I stay in one place I lose my mind I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with
[Chorus:] Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride And I never met a toby that I didn't like Scotty liked all the books that I recommended And even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
I had a dream that I had to drive to madison To deliver a painting for some silly reason I took a wrong turn and ended up michigan Paul baribeau took me to the giant tire swing Gave me a push and he started singing I sang along while I was swinging The sound of our voices made us forget everything That had ever hurt our feelings
[Chorus]
Now I'm home for less than 24 hours That's hardly time to take a shower, Hug my family and take your picture off the wall Check my email, write a song and make a few phone calls Before it's time to leave again I got one hand on the steering wheel one waving out the window If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life My yarns will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
