The Blue Nile - Because Of Toledo lyrics

rate me

Because of Toledo

I got sober and stayed clean

The pick ups in the wild prairies

The 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

I guess I quit believing in

The early morning news

There's a boy orders coffee

And he settles 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 stumble through so many places

Cause of Toledo

Yeah

Yeah yeah

(oh)Yeah

Yeah yeah

Because of Toledo

The highway looks so thin

I see another motel sign

Think of pulling in

Write your name upon the mirror there

The only secret that I know

But I guess that I'd be only chasing rainbows

Back to Toledo

I think I'll go
