Intro: Verse I'm goin' back to New York City I just can't wait no more for you I got so lonely, sold what you gave me 'Cept that raincoat, the famous blue And I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and broken hearts were home, and we were open all night long Solo: Verse Maybe I'll go out Chicago Ain't that where the blues belong? I heard you came by, shook up by the radio Somethin' about the topback, wayfarers on And I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and broken hearts were home, and we were open all night long Solo: Bridge And all this must've been comin' a long, long time, 29 years of nerves on fire Nobody came and nobody saw, made a wreck of myself with the headlights on Worked these hands straight down the bone, carried the weight until the weight took over Ended up standing at a fork in the road with you But I don't need time to think about it I don't let reminders get me down like before But you know I used to know you Back when local bars and your crooked heart was my home, mmhmm... Outro And I will never know the town where you finally settled down With the top back on a Cadillac and your sunglasses on And you can't make me whole, I have to find that on my own But I held you, babe, a long, long time ago, and we were open all night long.
