Well you can’t put your arms around a memory.
That’s what Johnny tried saying to me.
Took me awhile, but now I think that I see.
That if I just keep strumming
Then I’ll always stay free.
Come on, Mick, won’t you throw me a bone?
If I could learn to riff like that, I wouldn’t be alone.
I’d rocket to Russia, finally leave home.
And go get lost squeezing souls way out in Mexico.
Me n’ Tom saw some dancers down on Kingsbury.
And we tangoed sore with all those card cheats.
I met a girl that said she wakes when she dreams.
So I went around the world and tried to see what she means.
Sweet Maybelline is only sweet sixteen
And she ain’t never been outside of sweet Tennessee.
Whatever she’s seeing, well I can’t see.
You know I’m still broken hearted.
Pulling out of tune strings.
This old beat up song, it’s all that I got.
And I guess the same old three chords ain’t fillin’ in a whole lot.
Well all my broken heroes are clocking out.
I think that me and you should get up & go right now.
Right now. Right now.
