Because Of ToledoBecause of ToledoI got sober and stayed clean Pickups in the wild prairies Shadows dancing in between Girl leans on the jukebox In a pair of old blue jeans Says, "I live here but I don't really Live anywhere" Because of Toledo Tuesday, it's raining And I'm pulling on my shoes Guess I quit believing in Early morning news Does a boy order his coffee And settled down to think How the women that you love sometimes Are the water that you drink? Then another faded waitress, dressed in pink Cries for Toledo The lipstick and the cocaine traces One face in a thousand faces I stumbled through so many places Because of Toledo The highway looks so thin I see another motel sign And I think of pulling in Write your name upon the mirror there Only secret that I know But I guess that I'd be only Chasing rainbows |
