Some New Town

Slobberbone

Got in your car, you never turned around

And I hope you're happy in your new town

And I hope you live where nothing goes wrong

And the bars stay open all night long



Hope you live where everyone's happy, and I

Hope you live where nothing gets crappy, and I

Hope the sidewalks and the streets are clean, and I

Hope you've got good weather and everything, this is



Just a phone call from the place you once lived

Where we're still waiting for the sleet and rain to give

It's just a line from you're old town

Where we're still drinking to the times when you were around



Days were we gave you good times and more

Enough for you to break down and call this town yours, you gave us

Remedies for everything shitty

Back when girls were pretty, yeah this is



Just a letter from this house you once blessed

Where I'm still waiting for the forwarding address

Just a note from the past we once shared

Where I'm still waiting on a present from the future to get me there



I know your new town is so far away

That I could maybe come and visit but could never stay

It's just me calling from a town so far

And I'm still waiting on directions to wherever you are



Times were I wouldn't hold your arm

For fear of letting go of the other one

Fears I had to kiss you

With my eyes closed I might miss you if you

Looked at me in some way I hadn't seen, if you

Took my words in some way I didn't mean

If your smile showed signs of some inner frown

Of thoughts of packing up and moving on to some new town
