lyrics

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.
