Keep My Mind Off You

We used to run this whole town
What happened to us?
You were onto the next sound
I was too slow to catch the bus

Maybe it’s just I was meant for
Staying behind
I don’t understand you anymore
But it’s okay, I’m doing fine

If I get a little restless, I can just smoke
In the light of the moon
And if I get a little sad I can always drink some wine
In the afternoon
Anything to keep my mind off you

Slippers on, coffee and then
Catching up on the news
Sometimes it like I’m walking in
Somebody else’s shoes

Watching my dreams fly away
Like ribbons in the wind
But no amount of fortune fame
Could save me like her love did

If I get a little restless, I can just smoke
In the light of the moon
And if I get a little sad I can always drink some wine
In the afternoon
Anything to keep my mind off you

Young men out there seizing the day
Doing whatever it takes to make way
I’ll keep watching my hair turn gray and that’s okay
I’m in a good place
