Somewhere South
Winter was getting heavy and I was on my way out
You asked where I was going, I just said "somewhere south"
I've been on every road from here to Owego
Trying to fight the sorrow the only way I know
Well nothing there would come cheap and you wouldn't steal
It was a hard bargain, you couldn't make the deal
I guess I couldn't sell you what you had the cash to buy
Though I'm almost just as good for half the price
And I used to watch your eye color change
Green when it's clear, blue when it rained
Now I'm on the road back home a few hundred miles away
And I've seen better places but they all still felt the same
I guess I'm the fool that fell for the promise
This load would one day lighten - I hoped that it would pass
My appetite was vicious for something I'd seen before
Your presence was delicious, I was only craving more
I knew your heart was hungry, and I've tried to make it full
It once had a taste for me - your appetite went cold
And I used to watch your hair color change
Brown in the Fall, and blonde in the Spring
You asked where I was going, I just said "somewhere south"
I've been on every road from here to Owego
Trying to fight the sorrow the only way I know
Well nothing there would come cheap and you wouldn't steal
It was a hard bargain, you couldn't make the deal
I guess I couldn't sell you what you had the cash to buy
Though I'm almost just as good for half the price
And I used to watch your eye color change
Green when it's clear, blue when it rained
Now I'm on the road back home a few hundred miles away
And I've seen better places but they all still felt the same
I guess I'm the fool that fell for the promise
This load would one day lighten - I hoped that it would pass
My appetite was vicious for something I'd seen before
Your presence was delicious, I was only craving more
I knew your heart was hungry, and I've tried to make it full
It once had a taste for me - your appetite went cold
And I used to watch your hair color change
Brown in the Fall, and blonde in the Spring
