lyrics

you leave, I go grey gardens

when I’m home alone I lose my grip

cut the telephone wire, set the apartment on fire

lose my rings and my keys and wake up tired



so don’t you lose the road!

don’t you forget your home! (you know)



he says, “I wish I was another man”

she says, “I hate this feeling”

they stand outside of the bedroom

and inside they’re gently reeling



so don’t you lose the road!

don’t forget your home! (you know)



boot strap, you look back, you got me reeling!

boot strap, you look back, you got me reeling!



I see my face and

I see the shadows

the lines are cruel

young lady grows old

I hold my head in

both my hands and

it’s gotten so heavy

I’ve gotten so slow



yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



you know I’ll be there baby

hope you get home soon

you know I’ll be the right one

I’ll be the best for you!



boot strap, you look back, you got me reeling!

boot strap, you look back, you got me reeling, oh!
