The smoke that clouds my mind has left me broken
And the shoes upon my feet are tired and worn
Left you with many words unspoken
Hope the one you love now shelters you from storms
I can't remember Boston if I tried
Or the party where we both tripped the lights
Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio
Or the winter walking home through the snow
Or the winter walking home through the snow
Left New York with a chip upon my shoulder
Left Carolina with a sky full of grey
Left a girl who told me about the bars in Nashville
But I barely have the scratch to paint my way
I can't remember Boston if I tried
Or the party where we both tripped the lights
Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio
Or the winter walking home through the snow
Or the winter walking home through the snow
Does lightning strike down twice in a man's life?
All the days flying as quickly as they seem
I been picking up the parts - they're not fitting like the used to
I'll just let this boat of mine float away down stream
I'll just let this boat of mine float away down stream
I can't remember Boston if I tried
Or the party where we both tripped the lights
Or the songs that we danced to on that basement radio
Or the winter walking home through the snow
Or the winter walking home through the snow
