Robert Ellis - Tour Song lyrics

rate me

She’ll find someone to talk to when she’s feelin’ all alone

She’ll find someone to cook for and to care for when I’m gone

She’ll find someone to go with her to all the honky-tonks

She’ll find someone to dance with when the jukebox plays our song

Though I can’t be with her, she’s always on my mind

But there’s so many things I can’t do from a van in Caroline’

Soon she’ll start wonder what it is that I provide

And why the hell a husband can’t by his woman’s side

It’s the choice I made

It’s the price I’ll pay

Just to hang out in some shitty bar, then spend ten hours in a car

And play and sing a couple songs, but they never let us play too long

‘Fore they shut us down and kick us out and you move to some another town

Well, it ain’t so glamorous as it sounds and I need her more than ever now

She’ll find someone to help her to lift all the heavy loads

And when she wants to see a movie he will take her to the show

Maybe she will ask him what he thinks of me and her

Well, he’ll probably agree that I’m controlling and insecure

When I ain’t there to help with all the duties of a man

She’ll probably get to wonderin’ what I’m doin’ and where I am

Maybe she’ll imagine me alone with someone else

And maybe she will think she ought to find someone herself

It’s so hard to lay in this bed I made

In the back of a cramped up, dirty car

I’m driving out to some hipster bar

With people that I don’ wanna see

But I appreciate the company

On an endless string of one night stands

With ok girls and shitty bands

A good one comes by now and then

But I long to be back home again

Home again

Oh, I hope she’ll be there

When I come back home again

Home again

Oh, I hope she’ll be there

When I come back home again

She’ll find someone to tell her that she looks good in the dress

That one that I had sent her by the Federal Express

In the shoes I bought her, she will walk by all the man

And every one will stare and hope that she walks by again

I know that she loves me and I know her love is true

But when she needs some company what else is she gonna to do?

She’ll have some tough decisions that may try in her achin’ heart

But everything feels different from a million miles apart

I know just how to cope

How to keep my worries choked

I’ll go out to the nearest bar

I’ll shoot some pool and play some cards

Put the jukebox on A-32

That song that makes me think of you

I’ll get so drunk that I can’t stand

Or think of you with another man

And cloud the pieces of my mind

That remind me what I left behind
