Wheres that angel with dirty knees
Who wasnt hard to please when we first met
She dont act like she needs me now
And she dont even seem to be upset
Maybe I cover too much ground,
I move from town to town since I grew up
Could my dreams take up to much space?
Ill never find a place thats big enough
Same chords for the verse throughout the song
The chairs are up on the bar now
And the table lights go black
So I order one last double
And start calling people back
Marc sounds good, hes been working hard
Couldnt punch a card to save his life
Says hes glad that he quit the road
He says hes gettin old and missed his wife
Little Ems been asleep since 9
Im sure shes doin fine, she always is
Dad wont answer his phone at night
But I guess thats alright, the place is his
The chairs are up on the bar now
And theyre askin me to leave
So I give the girl a bill
And start rollin down my sleeves
In my pocket, directions back
Across the railroad tracks, to where I crash
Maybe I should wave down a car
I wont be goin far, and I have cash
Think I blocked just a park away
But I cant really say, its been all night
How I wish you could call me here
You just disappeared, it wasnt right
And the Streetlights help a little
But theyre barely have alive
I dont feel much like walkin
I sure as hell cant drive
Close your eyes and remember this
It wont be back again, its almost gone
Even times that dont seem like much
Will be your only crutch, when your alone
Time moves slow when youre seventeen
And then it picks up steam at twenty-one
Pretty soon youll remember when
You could remember when, you loved someone
