Turn My Friend Away
I turn my friend away when he moans like Leo's Lisa
When he's talkin' 'bout that piece of pie in the sky
That he thinks he's gonna have some day
I turn my friend away when he runs his private races
When he clocks his dreams
And puts them through their paces
Well, I just wish I had a penny
For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words
They just fill the night with tears
Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn
I know what he's trying to say
And as night turns into day
I turn my friend away
When the bold eyed boys of Summer
Entertain me with their teenage grief, come hither
Well, I just wish I had a penny
For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words
They just fill the night with tears
Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn
I know what he's tryin' to say
And as night turns into day
When he's talkin' 'bout that piece of pie in the sky
That he thinks he's gonna have some day
I turn my friend away when he runs his private races
When he clocks his dreams
And puts them through their paces
Well, I just wish I had a penny
For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words
They just fill the night with tears
Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn
I know what he's trying to say
And as night turns into day
I turn my friend away
When the bold eyed boys of Summer
Entertain me with their teenage grief, come hither
Well, I just wish I had a penny
For every time I've heard them say empty soundin' words
They just fill the night with tears
Like the snowbird that I hear singin' at dawn
I know what he's tryin' to say
And as night turns into day
