Just South Of Nowhere - gin blossoms


Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
This car I'm driving can't drive me fast enough
Thirty miles of potholed roads got me shaking like a drunk
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Static on the radio gave out five miles back
And I'm singing some old Marshall's song just for laughs
My head aches from cigarettes, my eyes are edged with sleep
Meet me out past the muddy ditch beneath the Palos Verdes trees
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Monday morning takes me back to where I have to be
Full of half assed promises this shit just ain't for me
Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids
Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere
Just south of nowhere
Just south of nowhere

Party girls between the sheets She can't show that much to me I'd rather drink until I see Angels tonight I had a girl I thought was mine I wised up and just in time Such wisdom makes these sluts look like Angels tonight, angels tonight As we collide as the lights go out There's someone else she thinks about It's all for the best that I can't figure out Angels tonight, angels tonight Angels to...

She came to L.A. all the way from Boston town She wound up on the screen where I saw her goin' down Now I can't see you I can't see you at all No I don't know you I don't know you at all I bought her films, yeah I bought all her magazines And I watched her every move until I saw her in my dreams Now I can't stand it See you caught from behind No I don't know you Girl you gotta be mine Keli Ric...
That you see it in her letters On the paper with her pen Her response is getting stranger I think she's coming round again So tell me Mrs. Rita What's it say in my tarot? Read my palm and tell me Why do lovers come and go? Is she coming 'round for me once again Around, or was that just the end? I just hope she's coming 'round again I've been keeping myself busy With my books and with my tapes ...
