  • I can still see the clothes we wore and the bar next door
    And the dirty floor and the day we left home for a rock and roll tour of America
    There was Milo and me it's true and the songs we knew and a picture of you
  • And a beat up van with a guitar in my hand so I could work it through

    Lonely American nights
  • Can make you hungry for the arms of someone new
    But put me under the lights
    I'd never jeopardize the trust I had with you
  • And I hope you found yourself another lover with a heart that's true
    (no guitar)
    Someone to say to you

  • We used to pray for the end of school, for our favorite tune, up in my bedroom
    Where I would wait for you baby in the parking lot to get you in the afternoon
    Do you remember the way we talked when I dropped you off 'till the sun came up
  • When I awoke to find you sleeping at the opposite end of the telephone

  • But everything has a price
    Ambition ordered me to do what I must do
    Another love sacrificed
  • Another offer to the gods of losing you
    And I hope you realize my heart will always hold a place for you

    And where were you baby when the wheels on my bus broke down
  • And where was I darlin' when you needed me to be around
    And I suppose I'll never find another lover with a heart so true
