I got sober and stayed clean
Pickups in the wild prairies
Shadows dancing in between
Girl leans on the jukebox
In a pair of old blue jeans
Says, "I live here but I don't really
Live anywhere"
Because of Toledo
Tuesday, it's raining
And I'm pulling on my shoes
Guess I quit believing in
Early morning news
Does a boy order his coffee
And settled down to think
How the women that you love sometimes
Are the water that you drink?
Then another faded waitress, dressed in pink
Cries for Toledo
The lipstick and the cocaine traces
One face in a thousand faces
I stumbled through so many places
Because of Toledo
The highway looks so thin
I see another motel sign
And I think of pulling in
Write your name upon the mirror there
Only secret that I know
But I guess that I'd be only
Chasing rainbows
Because of Toledo I got sober and stayed clean Pickups in the wild prairies Shadows dancing in between Girl leans on the jukebox In a pair of old blue jeans Says, "I live here but I don't really Live anywhere" Because of Toledo Tuesday, it's raining And I'm pulling on my shoes Guess I quit believing in Early morning news Does a boy order his coffee And settled down to think How the women that you love sometimes Are the water that you drink? Then another faded waitress, dressed in pink Cries for Toledo The lipstick and the cocaine traces One face in a thousand faces I stumbled through so many places Because of Toledo The highway looks so thin I see another motel sign And I think of pulling in Write your name upon the mirror there Only secret that I know But I guess that I'd be only Chasing rainbows Explain Request ×
