From the recording Across a Carnival
A restless drifter rolls into town, stays just long enough to leave another story behind.
Lyrics
Leaving you was never that hard
Solitaire nowhere played that card
I ran the numbers I beat the odds
And I don’t believe I believe in God
Did you ever wonder what drives a man?
His first smoke, last toke, understand
And don’t you worry about being true
Because when you’re with me, I’m with you
Early in the morning I can’t stay
Hit the road at the break of day
You won’t care and I don’t mind
I’ll think about you sometimes
You’ll think about me
Never know just where I’ve been
The Boulevard postcard tells you when
Last night I sleep in a feather bed
Tonight, I’m sleeping by the road instead
And I know these hills like a rolling train
I move around like a weathervane
I came to town, I drank the wine
I always knew that you weren’t mine
