Violent Femmes - Cold Canyon lyrics

Travel 'round the country Look out for what i can get Another blessed highway Hey mister you're gonna regret 'cause you just reminded me of something I long to forget But no matter how much he drink or smoke My memory's still clear It hurts me dear It's sharp today like it was yesterday No i don't have much hope Just the other night i came Face to face with my past Came down like a lightning bolt Struck me with a flash I was praying all along That it would not last Oh stop it stop it stop it stop it Y'know the last time you rang I nearly died i almost cried I put my pride in my pockets And said you gotta stay cool cool cool Y'know some things just gotta hang Oh lord lord Take me back I'm going back The long track So do yourself a favor And leave me if you please I'm in a cold cold canyon With a cold cold canyon breeze Woke up in a strange room And then i saw a door I went right over and opened it Though i'd never been there before Started presiding over the meeting The chairman said i had the floor And when we adjourned everyone Was satisfied We all got our money Then went out where it was sunny But it was kind of funny To find out that i was such a dummy But there's no place you can really hide
