Etc. All The Rest

I am calling

From a hotel

In the middle of palm springs

I am hungover as a dog

And I hate everything

And my recall

Of arrival

Is hazy at its best

Well anyway I love you babe

Etc. all the rest

There is a picture

Although blurry

Of a mountain to the east

Maybe we could go there someday

I don't know, what do you think?

I hear the view up there

Can take away your breath

Well anyway, I love you babe

Etc. all the rest

I know that it's late but

I had to get you on the line

I just wanted you to know

I think about you all the time

And I ain't ever been the kind

To wear my heart out on my sleeve

But here I go tryin my best

Well anyway, I love you babe

Etc. all the rest

I guess the last time that we spoke

I was Oklahoma bound

It was a thousand miles ago

And there was snow there on the ground

It reminded me of Christmas

And your head there on my chest

Well anyway, I love you babe

Etc all the rest

I know that it's late but

Maybe you'll pick up this time

I just wanted you to know

That if i could I'd make things right

And I ain't ever been the kind

To wear my heart out on my sleeve

But here I go tryin my best

Well anyway, I love you babe

Etc. all the rest

Watchin those taillights from my front porch

Yeah i remember that

Cause that's exactly when

I started hopin you'd come back

And I know it's too late

But i had to get you on the line

I just wanted you to know

I think about you all the time

I know that you said

Just go on and live your life

So here I go tryin my best
