Found on Silent Letter.
I remember sidewalk laughter down New Orleans, LA
A hot wet night at the fight with you
Had to push through the crowds and talk
Very loud it's true
But you were on my mind that day
You were on my mind each day
You were on my mind that day and forever
Had a drink, stop to think we had a few
Afterwards we went down to the dance side of town for the view
You went blushing inside and you pinched me to see
If I knew
But you were on my mind that day
You were on my mind

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play

Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We won't get fooled again

When I was all you longed to hold
Ain't it funny how things change
But I'll be here where you left me
Standing in the pourin' rain
Just a prisoner of my pain
And beggin' you to free me
Oh, I'll be waiting here, sweet darlin'
Like the day you left me behind
And if you ever change your mind
Come on and free me
Run to him, run to him oh, there's someone new
Cause I only want the best for you

I was burned in the heat of the moment,
No, it could've been the heat of the day.
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me the shoulder,
When I should happen to fall.
The timing is right, now I'm older.
I've got friends who will give in before I fall.
Corner of bleaker and nowhere noway,
In the land of not quite day.
A shiver runs down my backbone,
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked around for a hitch from a raindeer,
Said you oughtta find him out in the day.
I turned aro
