If things didn't have to go the way they did I hope you know.
That I woulda tried not to lie about my folks.
And I hope you find some way to cope, yea.
Things didn't have to go the way they did I shoulda known.
You'd let the knots tie us up on their own.
Unrequited love withdrawn, again.

Well I bought this car in Boston.
Wondered what it costed.
Bought a car in Boston and she wondered what it cost him
asked me if I came here often so I popped her cherry blossom.
Searching through the city for a job or something pretty.
I miss my women and my money. Now I'm thinking what a pity.

And I'm hoping that you're gonna get to where you got to go to so bad.
And the hard times don't mean I'm giving up.
Hoping that you're gonna get to where you gotta go to so bad.
The hard times don't mean I'm giving up.
And the hard times don't mean I give at all.

When should we get tired alone, yea?
Or make ourselves at home, again.
Things could be better, I guess.
Things could have been worse again. AGAIN!!!!
