Tire Swing

[Verse 1]

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 Tobey that I didn't like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended

[Verse 2]

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 in 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]

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride

And I never met a Tobey that I didn't like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended

I wouldn't be offended

[Verse 3]

Now I'm home for less than twenty-four 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've 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

[Chorus]

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride

And I never met a Tobey that I didn't like

Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended

Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
