Someday, Somehow
LyricS
Gotta go back to the
Red River Byway
Gotta go back by the
Old State Highway
I won’t get into details but there’s something there I’ve gotta see
I hate to keep you in the dark
But it’s th’only way I know to be
Leave you with this
Kiss on cheek
I need the car for a
Bout a week
I won’t elaborate right now but it’s all gonna workout somehow
Keep my cocktail cold and stirred
And I’ll come find you afterward
Drive all night like a
Yahrzeit candle
Drinkin’ coffee
By the handle
Though I’ve got moonlight to lose, I gotta dot some Ps and Qs
I won’t get in particulars
But it’s something that I’ve gotta do
Listen it ain’t like it
Seems it is
I got a reason for a
Trip like this
Trust me when I say
You needn’t know
I’ll think about you
Daily though
I’ve got a picture on the dash of you, the dog, and Johnny Cash
I can’t explain it to you now
But I’ll be back someday, somehow
I can’t explain it to you now
But I’ll be back someday, somehow
