 Ran out of time
 
 running my mouth
/
 Ran up a tab and
 
 all the way from
Kalamazoo
On  my way back  home
I  was surely  stoned,
 now I'm sober in my yard
Can  believe I was there?
Can  believe I've been anywhere else?

 But there was a time
 I almost  forgot
 we had been drifting all
 the way from
 Kalamazoo, and I said that
I  loved you too
 All the way back home

 ::Verse 2::
/
 There's an old joke
 
 I just made up
/
 How many of me
 
 would it take to
screw  up  your life?
One  to settle  down,
one  to turn  you around
 Now I'm sober in my yard
I  would say you had to be there,
I  forget that you're
still  there
Seems  like you'd be frozen,
frozen  there in time
Waving  your goodbyes
 Up to the sky

 ::Interlude::
 - /  -
 You place on the map
 has faded  away
 
 Used to be lost in
more  than one way
 Kalamazoo, don't you know that
I've  been there too
 
 and it'd put your mind more at ease
 If you'd say these words of release
 All the way back home
