On a lonely back-country road Just outside of Shawnee in Oklahoma The bass line of our song on your cassette Sounds like the storm clouds we see up ahead On the horizon ♪ When we get to the place we are going I look at the floor as I search for some words I don't want to hear what I think you might say You know what you want and I'm much too afraid And I only feel shame and that makes me feel rage At myself ♪ Mike? Mike? Can you hear me? Are you out there, Mike? Mike? Are you listening? I'm sorry ♪ Julie's a force which must be reckoned with She's kind and she's strong and she shoots from the hip Her laugh is what you did not know you were missing And if you are smart and try real hard to listen You'll learn from her what friendship is And what it isn't ♪ Now Julie is coming and she'll be here soon She'll be my escape from the truth in this room And I know that I can't run away all my life But I will be damned if I'll let someone else decide who I am Or who I'll become ♪ Julie? Are you out there? I've been thinking about you, Julie Are you listening? I miss you ♪ On a lonely back-country road Just outiside of Shawnee in Oklahoma
