lyrics

She calls me up on the telephone, she sounds so far away
She says, “I’m just out on a little ride, across the USA.
And oh, I missed you.”

She says, “I don’t know why I came this far, I’ll be broke before too long.”
I say, “When you’re always given what you need, is it faith that keeps you strong?”
She says, “Oh, I miss you.

She says, “You should come to Colorado, this mountain air will pull you in
And the people, they all wave and tip their hats
And it ain’t rained since late last week.

She says, “Why do you sound the way you do? There’s no smile in your voice.
But our lives are written out for us, I had no other choice.
And oh, I missed you.

You should come to California, the sun shines brighter on me now
And the people, they all smile as they pass,
And it ain’t rained in fourteen days.”

I tell her all about my year, how I’d hoped for so much more.
I say, “I’ve been alright, I guess, but then, I’ve been through all this before
But still, oh, I miss you.

You should come back to New England, the summer’s better when you’re here
We could sit and watch the rain fall down
On my front porch almost every night.”

You know I’d give you all I had, but still you can’t admit
You just wanted someone who could treat you like shit.
And oh, you’ll miss me.
