me and Eddie jones
we got a weird thing going
I don't have a home
because my heart’s been broken
he can't take me home
because his Mama's always there
got a man around
and daddy's in the sky somewhere
turtle on his arm
he says his life is changing
always all the time
the sky is always changing
standing on the rooftop
took my love into his mind
eyes like night and teeth like snow
our boy is out of time
I like the island Manhattan
but all I see is you and me
I never had a vacation
ooh California running away
run away from the pain
ooh now I go to find my name
ooh California running away
run away from the pain
ooh now I go to find my name
missing Eddie jones
I couldn't take him with me
sky is changing cold
I had to quit this city
pink fur lady walking
call me baby everywhere
they don't know my name
can't meet my gazes anywhere
angel in the snow
I feel my life is changing
back to county roads
it’s just my body changing
every man the same
in shadows like my baby’s eyes
someone call my name
someone understand my style
