Down Across The Delaware - James Mcmurtry[00:00:00]

Bills are paid but it makes no difference[00:00:27]

To the gods that seem to rule our home[00:00:32]

Heat shut off for no known reason[00:00:37]

This old building's got a mind of its own[00:00:41]

I can tell your footsteps on the stairs[00:00:54]

From three flights up[00:00:56]

I know the jingling of your keys[00:00:58]

You won't hear no and you don't look back[00:01:03]

And you can't slow down[00:01:05]

These days you don't have much to say to me [00:01:07]

In another town what would fetch a good living[00:01:12]

Here is barely hand to mouth[00:01:17]

So I'm going out and get a U-Haul trailer[00:01:21]

Drag it down the turnpike south[00:01:26]

Where the Garden State gives way to the real world[00:01:30]

Falls away in the rearview mirror[00:01:35]

We'll mend our wounds and wait out the winter[00:01:38]

Down across the Delaware[00:01:43]

We get along in a manner of speaking[00:01:57]

We barely have to speak at all[00:02:02]

Small talk over take-out pizza[00:02:06]

Silently passing in the hall[00:02:10]

Post-It notes opposite shifts[00:02:15]

Once in a blue moon we'll wake up in the same room[00:02:24]

Thankful for these the many gifts[00:02:28]

We run by night we live it and breathe it[00:02:32]

We're the best of the best and I just don't care[00:02:36]

I'll mend my wounds and wait out the winter[00:02:41]

Down across the Delaware[00:02:46]

And I'll see you in the spring[00:02:50]

When the chill don't cut so deep[00:02:54]

I'll be back around[00:02:58]

To give this town another crack at me [00:03:01]

I heard a voice today I swore I knew[00:03:35]

From somewhere down in the southern sticks[00:03:39]

I turned around to see some ragged stranger[00:03:43]

Bumming change on the uptown six[00:03:48]

And I froze like a stone[00:03:51]

Could I ever get that low [00:03:56]

Turned my face to the window[00:04:00]

There by the grace of God I go[00:04:05]

Where the Garden State[00:04:10]

Gives way to the real world[00:04:11]

Falls away in the rearview mirror[00:04:14]

I'll mend my wounds and wait out the winter[00:04:18]

Down across the Delaware[00:04:23]
