1973

Dear Mr. Charles Schultz 1973 I'm feeding rolls of quarters in the pay television And trying to make sense of today Two missed connections in the Amtrak station Still days away from my final destination When I see the city lights I'll know I'll made the finish line My girl Lucy waits for me to bend my knee But the diamond doesn't shine And I can barely make the payments On our telephone ring I took a second job watching The clock change hands The seven's disappointed And me I'm not committed to be a numbers man Dear Mr. Charles Brown I make the rent on time It's true I'm undecided And the season has expired I'll never be the man she desires Two missed connections in the Amtrak station I walked out the door without delay or hesitation Somebody shouted your name And I swear they yelled fire Charles, my best is not enough Today I'm finally giving up Oh, Lucy I love you My plane isn't landing They're telling me my phone is tapped It's going down to the wire I'm collecting the rain I'll use it for payment To catch another downtown train --- 1973 - Damien Jurado
