There's a town in New Mexico
I've passed through a time or two
Never stayed to see the seasons change
Now that's changing 'cause of you
You've got clouds in your eyes, long skinny legs
Long enough to reach the ground
And you long for something you lost on the way
Hope you find it anyhow
'Cause it's been ten years in New Orleans
From the train tracks to the oaks
And I'll catch a ride with an old friend
Go and find you on the road
And I don't have a plan, it's true
Just to spend a little time with you
And maybe write a song or two
Hey, hey, hey
I get crazed and bent out of shape
And I call you on the phone
Pleading for affection or attention
Or a strong dose of something I've never known
You laugh, say I'm a piece of work
But you empathize most times
Your words cut through me
I want to improve me, be someone you can recognize
Look closer, look closer
Look closer, see what is really here
A sunlit morning, a quiet room
And thirty-four years
And I don't have a plan, it's true
Just to spend a little time with you
And maybe write a song or two
Yeah, maybe write a song or two
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey
A song, a song
A song, a song or two
Hey, hey
