Mama was calling, but I couldn't answer
I had a dog in the car, had a dog in my hands
I was walking with these worn-out shoes
I tripped over Charlie and I hit the grass
I was coming up running, I was coming up fast
But he beat me, just a-howling at the door
Oh Sally, don't get down
'Cause I been looking all over town
For a brand new set of wings for you
For a brand new set of wings for you
Well I'm back in the house, bang my head on a wall
Yeah and Charlie's still laughing about watching me fall
I say "Charlie, now what's the big idea?"
I'm back in my room just packing my bags
And I'm thinking November, about the time we've had
Just walking out by a stone wall
(chorus)
I'm gonna get a ticket, gonna get on a plane
Tell that pilot, take me so far away
So I can call you up, say I miss you like a fool
Yeah but you don't put me down, you don't treat me bad
Say you understand about this problem I have
Well sometimes, I know you still wonder
(chorus)
Yeah got held up in Paris, caught smoking on a train
If you ain't got your papers gonna get you detained
Don't believe me I've got the photographs to prove it
You should've seen the look on the old man's face
When the police threatened to haul him away
You know he was scared, but it was also kind of funny
(chorus)
Yeah well I can't sleep at night, can't awake in the day
And we got these guitars, got so much to say
But no time, no energy to say it
Yeah when you still walk in the park there ain't nobody there
There's a calm in the trees there's a cool in the air
And it's boring, but I found it kind of soothing
Yeah in a couple of months when the leaves turn green
When the seasons change, when the bird sings
Gonna grab you up, gonna take you here for good
Yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day
And we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play
You know the city's old but it never seems to get tired
(chorus)
