Linda Lee

Well, she came up from Austin maybe ten years ago
In a two-door-pickup her grandfather drove
With a goal in her mind and a song in her heart
She was sure that California kept a brand new start

I was working as a waiter at an Italian joint
But for dreaming way too much I often missed the point
On the day that I was fired she was walking by
And I thought I caught a sparkle coming from her eye

Hello, Linda Lee
I know it sounds a little awkward,
But I may have seen you in my dream
Oh well, don't you think
We could refresh this conversation
With a little something to drink

She asked 'how do you know my name', I said 'it's in the tag'
She giggled and accepted to go for a leg
We talked about our lives, both good and bad times
We made each other laugh maybe a thousand times

You know, Linda Lee
I'm sure it feels a little early,
but don't you think that we could free
Our souls and our hearts
And dive into this moment just like lovers at first sight

Can't remember the day she left no more
But I remember the stars shinin' on her floor
Tonight I'm gonna dream about her

So long, Linda Lee
I know there's something that's connecting your old loving to me
Farewell, if that's the word
Sometimes I feel like letting go, sometimes I feel like letting burn
