When you see a roadside bar
Or an old button down with a cigarette scar
Think of me babe, because that's when I'm thinking of you
It's not that you'll know where I'm at
I won't be calling up your house or nothing like that
I'm an old man now, and thinking's what I do
I took my car this morning, gonna get new shocks
I saw a woman out watering a window box
And a couple of kids I thought could have been you and me
Something sparked up in my brain to tell you the truth
I bought a box of raisins and a Baby Ruth
And sat down on the curb, twelve o'clock turned into three
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
Cause girl that don't account for much but it sells a lot of magazines
Instrumental Break:
Riff
Living without you babe, it ain't so bad
I've got a memory of you I didn't know I had
And it's rattling round, being called back out of the deep
I'll be the first one to tell you not much can last
And I knew that full well before you came and past
So why are you on my mind tonight when I'm trying to sleep?
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
Cause girl that don't account for much but it sells a lot of magazines
So if you sit down heavy with your pen and ink
Or you're talking to yourself while you're scrubbing the sink
Then talk to me girl, cause that's when I'm talking to you
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
Cause girl that don't account for much but it sells a lot of magazines
This Riff is played during the Final Chorus
