The tire, well, it spins where the gravel is fine
Heading down the county road
I catch a glimpse of the greyhound sign
See it through and watch it go
It'll chase the sun 'til it makes it turn bright
As it heads down to Houston town
I'm gonna catch it, buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
I come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away
The tower, it got a fresh coat of paint
It's a-ringing a lot more clear
I guess it don't matter if you know you ain't
Gonna make it too far from here
She just stand like a mountain, she sleeps like a child
She won't let her memory down
I'm gonna shake my way out of its side
Someday, when I come around
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
I come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away
I knew a guy and we used to say
You live like you're spinning around
We used to dance while the band used to play
Slowly we sifted the sand
He caught the bus ten years ago today
And he hasn't called me in nine
I think now and then when I'm acting some way
How he promised to keep me in line
He chased the sun 'til it made him turn bright
And the band put their instruments down
I'm gonna catch him, buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
I come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away
