Geoff Baker - Just Like 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues' lyrics

When by day the sun's choking in a sky of gray And I'm lucky if I see him melt at evening into Mission Bay And every face that hears me speak just wants to turn away I get to thinking about you and I wonder if I should have stayed At a roadside j**elry stand off the beaten track I saw the cross you'd had tatooed into the small of your back And I wanted to laugh but it stopped me dead in my tracks I get to thinking about you and it almost makes me want you back Well, I hope you got the card that I sent, the one in ball-point red Yeah, I scrawled it out that week in Kansas I was laid-up in bed And it may not be true but I meant every word that it said I get to thinking about you and it almost makes me lose my head I crawled through Missouri saddled heavy with your memory Crying on the hood of the car just like a banshee's scream And in St. Louis, where the air was thick with you, I couldn't breathe I get to thinking about you and it makes me wonder- do you think about me? When I crawled into Jersey it's like nothing really stayed behind And whatever I was after is the one thing that I didn't find And baby I'm not saying we should hook up and try to make up for lost time But I get to thinking about you and it almost makes me change my mind
