I smelled a video store on the Christmas stairs And I thought of Tennessee and all the good people there And I shared a joke with a guy who sold me some shoes And I caught a show of some kids that know and was moved In the land of masturbators, the one handed man is prince I take shots with the guys but they never ask me to dance And I can't go full time cause i'm gonna start writin' again When things go awry I can laugh i can cry with a friend I will never let you go from me I will never let you go from me It's the birds up early making a racket like the garbageman The vines pouring off porches making the homes hold hands And the dog that sleeps in one spot and now the grass won't grow Stayin up late singin' songs with some kids that I know I will never let you go from me No, I will never let you go from me Never let you go Tried burning down the great libraries of my past But came back in my weakness to salvage what i could grab She's laying on a long green couch with a mosquito bite The short blonde hair on her legs shining in the light I will never let you go from me I will never let you go from me I will never let you go from me I will never let you go from me From me
