lyrics

Heading out west guitar in hand,
With a handful of pebbles and a pocketful of sand,
Dreaming of my woman in a comfy bed,
With a jar full of whisky and an aching head,
Got my mind on Meg,
But I don’t know if she’s listening to a word I said.

Raking through the leaves in the autumn haze,
Gives a whistle out to Johnny but his eyes are glazed,
Suzy brings a coffee and a slice of pie,
Little sister in the corner looking so damn shy,
Got my mind on Meg,
But I don’t know if she’s listening to a word I said.

I think her daddy’s gonna shoot me dead,
‘cause I been moving in too fast,
I’ll write a song to get inside his head,
And hope that it can change the past

Lighting up a fire for some small town smoke,
Playing country ditties for the small town folk,
Waving to the buses at the old Roundhouse,
But her image keeps on fading going in and out,
Got my mind on Meg,
But I don’t know if she’s listening to a word I said.

I think her daddy’s gonna shoot me dead,
‘cause I been moving in too fast,
I’ll write a song to get inside his head,
And hope that it can change the past.

I think her daddy’s gonna shoot me dead,
‘cos I been moving in too fast,
I’ll write a song to get inside his head,
And hope that it can change the past.
