| We could sit beneath the evening
|
| And let the day turn blue
|
| I could never let the darkness
|
| Replace the thought of you
|
| C’mon darling let’s catch that train
|
| To wherever we call god
|
| Maybe it’s in Massachusetts
|
| Or maybe not
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| It’s just you and I, my dear
|
| Just you and I
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| Let’s keep our boots pointed west
|
| Stay left of the police
|
| I know you’re like a freight train
|
| To escape your family
|
| You’ve got a father who has done you wrong
|
| And a mother who doesn’t care
|
| Get your backbone up my darling
|
| Let down your hair
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| It’s just you and I, my dear
|
| Just you and I
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| When all the world turns into hospitals and jails
|
| I can always count on your love to be my bail
|
| And we’ll go traveling on from year to year
|
| Just you and i, my dear
|
| I’ve got my backpack full of fourteen cartons
|
| Of cigarettes, cigarettes
|
| I’ve got a bumper sticker on my chest that says
|
| No regrets, no regrets
|
| I’ve got your love draped all around me like
|
| A big black cape, a big black cape
|
| All the billboards on the highway say
|
| Don’t be late, don’t be late
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| It’s just you and I
|
| When all the world turns into hospitals and jails
|
| I can always count on your love to be my bail
|
| We’ll go traveling on from year to year
|
| Just you and I, my dear
|
| Well I woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor
|
| I was listening for your knocking
|
| But you weren’t outside my door
|
| And I know that you won’t be coming 'round
|
| In the way I want you to
|
| I wish you’d throw your arms around me
|
| But it’s not for me, it’s not for me
|
| It’ll be just me, it’ll be just me
|
| And I know I never told you how i felt
|
| But you could never understand
|
| The blues that you have dealt me
|
| So I’ll keep traveling on from year to year
|
| It’ll be just me, my dear
|
| It’ll be just me, my dear
|
| Same thing year after year
|
| It’ll be just me, my dear |
