When I Come Around

The tire well it spins where the gravel is fine headin' down the county road,
cause I catch a glimpse of the greyhound sign
see it through and watch it go,
It'll chase the sun till it makes it turn bright, as it heads down to Houston town
I'm gonna catch it buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around.

When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away.

The tower it got a fresh coat of paint
It's reading in a lot more clear
I guess it don't matter if you know you ain't gonna make it too far from here
She stands like a mountain, She sleeps like a child
And she won't let her memory down
I'm gonna shake my way out of its sight.

Someday when I come around
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away.

I knew a girl she used to say,
You're living like you're spinning around.
We used to dance while the band used to play
Slowly, we sifted the sound.

She caught the bus ten years ago today
She hasn't called me in nine
I think now and then when I'm acting some way
How she promised to keep me in line.

She chased the sun till it made her turn bright
And the band put their instruments down
I'm gonna catch her buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around.

When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away.
