I Think of You Songtext
von J Roddy Walston and The Business

Storytellers only enjoy
The part of life that they can use
I got some sentimental fingers and
They′re holding on to you
I got to keep that stuff in alcohol
Yeah keep it there for health
As your right hand feels for money
Your left hand feels for wealth
We were young, we were used to it
And then the baby came on late
Mommy got him, they were strange and cried
And she regrets she made
And there i was just a sober king
Yeah, faking it for our friends
Had a (?) bungled crop of memories
When they ran out in the end


Oh but i think of you and i change
Oh i think of you you're all the same
No one thinks like me these days
We had a game, you have learned it
We had a name, you have earned it
I am just a thing you had to do

I am just a memory now for you

I am the greatest american dreamer
You will ever care to know
Two eyes but none the wiser
And i′m looking for a third to grow
Two houses don't make a home for me
They're just a building and some extra walls
Getting pretty good at standing up
But i′m better at the fall
She told me softly of immigrants
And the numbers were one and ten
Our majority was losing ground
And our nation had turned to sin
Our neighbors never lived that close
And our enemy now had come
Told me how he lost his generation
I and the others have the middle son
