Jerome

Coyote smiles, a wicked laugh All of it just takes me back To when you were still standing by my side None of it seems clear to me A lustful dream, not a memory Just craving something real that could be mine Said we'd pack it all away And head out where the Indians lay Live like outlaws on a mountainside Then you'd breathe out your nicotine The only drug I'd ever need Is choking down on all those pretty lies Did it work out how you thought it would? Did the road treat you good? Did you find home? Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me And you just can't bear to see me left alone Do you still dream about Jerome? I close my eyes, you're standing there Twisted lips and auburn hair And I go back again a million times I was so wrapped up in revelry That I could never see the leaving dancing just beyond the county lines Did it work out how you thought it would? Did the road treat you good? Did you find home? Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me And you just can't bear to see me left alone Do you still dream about Jerome? I could offer you serenity But you were born and raised to leave I hope you make it back to me Jerome
