Easy Come, Easy Go

- x20010 Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail Seems like every Friday evenin' She'd find herself in jail Not a friend this side of Houston With the time to throw her bail But she'll be fine, she'll be fine Spent a lifetime walkin' Through the walls of a broken home Not a man round here still standin For the girl to call her own Every time she tried to hold him She just ended up alone But there's still time, there's still time Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town Like the billboards up above him The world just wore him down Only soul he'd ever cared for Was the one he'd never found But he'll be fine, he'll be fine Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' 'Bout how the world had done him so Then the postman burst his bubble With a letter from below And now it's time, now it's time And there's a lot of people runnin' around Not quite sure which way to go But as for me I think I finally found It's just easy come and easy go Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar Packed her whole world in a suitcase And tossed it in the car Woke up in Texarkana Wonderin' how she got this far And on her own, on her own Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free She was gone before the daybreak On her way to Tennessee Lookin' to make the whole world over Into a place she wants to be But not alone, not alone Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake He said this whole world's full of chance And this is one I gotta take So he caught the line to Nashville To finally find his break And make a home, make a home As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by He said I spent a lifetime runnin' And now's the time to try If I can't find someone to hold me My dreams will surely die And I'll be gone, I'll be gone Chorus Bridge: When Davey hit the pavement the sky was almost grey He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk To drive the storm away And when Jamie turned the corner With the world upon her brow Davey said I must be dreamin' How could this happen now And then she walked right towards him Looked him right up in the eye Davey reached out for forever And Jamie walked on by Chorus
