When I Come Around

[Verse 1]
The tire, well it spins where the gravel is fine
Headin' down the county road
'Cause I catch a glimpse of the greyhound sign
See it through and watch it go

[Verse 2]
It'll chase the sun till it makes it turn bright
As it heads down to Houston town
I'm gonna catch it buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around

[Chorus]
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away

[Verse 3]
The tower, it got a fresh coat of paint
It's reading in a lot more clear
I guess it don't matter if you know you ain't
Gonna make it too far from here

[Verse 4]
She stands like a mountain, she sleeps like a child
And she won't let her memory down
I'm gonna shake my way out of its sight
Someday when I come around

[Chorus]
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away

[Verse 5]
I knew a girl she used to say
"You're living like you're spinning around"
We used to dance while the band used to play
Slowly, we sifted the sound

[Verse 6]
She caught the bus ten years ago today
She hasn't called me in nine
I think now and then when I'm acting some way
How she promised to keep me in line

[Verse 7]
She chased the sun till it made her turn bright
And the band put their instruments down
I'm gonna catch her buddy, I just might
Someday, when I come around

[Chorus]
When I come around, I'm a fool and a stranger
Come around, it's a damn what they say
When I come around, dragging the anchor
So tonight, I'm dancing away
