lyrics

Once i packed my bags,
made my escape out west,
but Oakland looked just like old Curtis Bay.
Now I'm driving east on Church Street
with this tune stuck in my head
and this old time feelin, and my hands are freezin,
but I've stayed where I want to stay.

I've had days
stare at the walls and sit
and I've had loves
I just wish I could forget,
but you're smiling at me, baby
with a love that doesn't quit.
You made the call, warts 'n all-
that's the long and short of it.

Used to talk when i was young
like the world was going to end.
Struck me yesterday how young i was.
Just limp along, just like this song
with no reason and no rhyme-
the past forgot, a blurred ink blot
we're repeating all the time.

Seems there's nothing
I ain't supposed to do:
make some money, make a home
and keep friends too,
but you lean on me, baby,
and I'm leaning on you.
You made the call, warts 'n all
The foot just fits the shoe.

I've lost things
I never should have kept
and built a fire
where i never should have slept,
but you know I love you, baby
so much it's incorrect.
You made the call, warts 'n all
and I'm just gonna accept.
