The Stubborn Lovers

Lyrics

Here’s my rhyme: once upon a time, thought I’d found a golden dime
Turned out it was just an old brass slug
Like rose-hued dreams are never what they seem, sweet songs on the juke machine
Stop spinning when somebody pulls the plug
But when you swore you’d love me for forever and a day
I thought you knew I trusted you would not lead me astray

Then you left me alone and broke down on the road to Tacoma
Now I’m letting you know, since I found this sweet little home o’ mine, I’ve been strong
While I ain’t had much luck in finding new romance
It still beats being stuck in someone else’s plans, so go on
You take Tacoma, I’ll take my chances

Chelsea days, living in a haze, thinking we knew true love ways
If you were true then no one ever lied
Life was good, did the best we could, so I’ve never understood
How you could say you weren’t satisfied
Then like a fool you went and pulled up stakes and moved out west
Guess I’m one too ‘cause I thought you were different from the rest

Then you left me alone and broke down on the road to Tacoma
Now I’m letting you know, since I found this sweet little home o’ mine, I’ve been strong
While I ain’t had much luck in finding new romance
It still beats being stuck in someone else’s plans, so go on
You take Tacoma, I’ll take my chances

And it’s a long dark road you led me down
I was lost for a time, but now I’ve found some light
I know I’m bound to be all right

Like some damn fool you went and pulled up stakes and moved out west
Guess I’m one too ‘cause I thought you were different from the rest

Then you left me alone and broke down on the road to Tacoma
Now I’m letting you know, since I found this sweet little home o’ mine, I’ve been strong
While I ain’t had much luck in finding new romance
It still beats being stuck in someone else’s plans, so go on
You take Tacoma, I’ll take my chances
