you gave me 366 reasons to stay
but, man, i had to leave carmineit’s been more than 100 days
and you’re still lingering on my mind
always imagined linda lou and benny boy
meeting up at a bar somewhere on the eastside
catching up on old times, still searching for their mexicostill chasing down their dreams, hand in hand as they go
but that’s no way of dying
so they lose themselves in a dancewhile calico lady sits in the back writing
inspiration for her, for them one last chance
i close my eyes and sing a porch song
only to find i’m the only one in attendancethese days are walking along
but i never forgot how you took my independence
yes indeedy, good-bye to carmine
taking all those memories on my mindall those melodies
on the road to california for companyjoni in the front seat
rooster in the backhumming along to each track
saw dust is starting to settle
as your lips hit that amplified metali'm staying in this space for one more round
just onelocked into that sweet sound
dancing around
freedom bound
