I been feelin in the way, kinda underfoot on a Saturday
Sun it don't mean to hurt I guess
But the bright light's harsh when you're tryin to rest
I know you been workin some overtime
In your granddad's kitchen tryin to make a dime
The old joke stands cuz it's true I guess
That when you find what you're lookin for you want it less
Cuz baby I'm on the make, in my old sport coat and my head it aches
I'm drinkin too much tonight and it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint on this broke-down palace
Couldn't compensate
Oh the thing's I never really say to make you stay
Cuz I love the way you walk away
I spent the night in an old sedan
It was parked by the river where the oak tree stands
Tryin to find a station on that radio
Searchin hard for a song that I just don't know
Some kind of personal epiphany
But all I heard was the stars as they spoke to me
An ancient tongue, speakin' loud and true
Telling me all the ways that I'm losing you
Cuz baby I'm on the make, in my old sport coat and my head it aches
I'm bringin you down tonight and it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint on this broke-down palace
Couldn't compensate
Oh the thing's I never really say to make you stay
Cuz I love the way you walk away
Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
I been feelin' hard to get
Like a dog hidin out underneath the step
Burnin' this bridge, cause I need the light
For to see my way through the coming night
Guess I thought you'd always just play the game
Come a walkin' on back down the same old lane
But the grass grows high all around your door
It's a sign or symbol for the things in store
Cuz baby I'm on the make, in my old sport coat and my head it aches
I'm drinkin too much tonight and it ain't right
And a brand new coat of paint on this broke-down palace
Couldn't compensate
Oh the thing's I never really say to make you stay
Cuz I love the way you walk away
Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
Hey hey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
Hey hey hey
Heyeyeyey
