Don't it always seem to hit you
Right when you feel you can lay back easy
Those times are hard to come by
Sittin' still with nothin' on your mind
Memories are friends that you had
Once more you'll have to leave again to find them
It seems like nothing till you're back home
You took your chances with time
Well I can see you sitting easy
Rocking on your porch back and forth
Those clouds outside your doorway are moving dark and moving fast
But keep on rockin'
Don't the rain make you lazy
As long as it keeps raining
I'll be with you
No I won't be leaving, no I won't be leaving
But when the sun starts to shinin'
I'll be on my way
My past keeps a-comin' back on me
You don't understand it
But I know that I didn't plan it
I've taken my rest
It's time to carry out the news
I said front page, back page
Have I got news for you
If I can only tell you what I feel now
It's been so long inside of me
All the years I've been trying
Trying just to be myself with someone else
Ain't no two ways about it
And it's so clear, so clear to me
That if we really need it
I'll count on you and you can count on me
