i took the Polaroid down in my room
i'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
it's not as if i don't like you
it just makes me sad whenever i see it
cuz i like to be gone most of the time
and you like to be home most of the time
if I stay in one place i lose my mind
i'm a pretty impossible lady to be with

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and i never met a Toby that i didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that i recommended
even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended

i had a dream that had to drive to Madison
to deliver a painting for some silly reason
i took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
gave me a push and he started singing
i sang along while I was swinging
the sound of our voices made us forget everything
that had ever hurt our feelings

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and i never met a Toby that i didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that i recommended
even if he didn't i wouldn't be offended
wouldn't be offended

now i'm home for less than twenty-four hours
that's hardly time to take a shower
hug my family and take your picture off the wall
check my email write a song and make a few phone calls
before it's time to leave again
i've got one hand on the steering wheel
one waving out the window
if i'm a spinster for the rest of my life
my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
and i never met a Toby that i didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that i recommended
even if he didn't i wouldn't be offended...
would'nt be offended...
even if he did'nt i would'nt be offended!
