TIRE SWING

I took the Polaroid down in my room I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend It's not as if I don't like you It just makes me sad whenever I see it 'Cause I like to be gone most of the time And you like to be home most of the time If I stay in one place I lose my mind I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride And I never met a Toby that I didn't like Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison To deliver a painting for some silly reason I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan Paul Baribeau took me To the giant tire swing Gave me a push and he started singing I sang along while I was swinging The sound of our voices Made us forget everything That had ever hurt our feelings Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride And I never met a Toby that I didn't like Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended Now I'm home for less than twenty four hours That's hardly time to take a shower Hug my family And take your picture off the wall Check my email, write a song And make a few phone calls Before it's time to leave again I've got one hand on the steering wheel One waving out the window If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride And I never met a Toby that I didn't like Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended
