my lipstick
jumped ship
to a styrofoam cup
with the coffee gone
the conversation strong
all I got left to give
baby, is up
but sentiments like shadows grow
oh so long

guess I gotta go
don’t get up
don’t cry
it’s really very simple
just kiss my cheek and say goodbye
I never really go anywhere anyway
I just pass through from time to time

bye bye baby
baby bye bye
maybe I’ll see you
next time I’m in town
maybe when I’m through
falling off the face of the earth
I’ll come back around
you know I love to come back around

ten hours of driving
will make your mind
kind of numb
but it’s better than
ten dollars an hour
slamming a hammer on my thumb
and it’s better than
five dollars an hour
selling people shit
I wouldn’t buy myself
at least at the end of the day
I’m always somewhere else

bye bye baby
baby bye bye
maybe I’ll see you
next time I’m in town
maybe when I’m through
falling off the face of the earth
I’ll come back around
you know I love to come back around
