Where it started, can't even remember
Just one day you were there
Funny little girl in your tied-dyes and cut-offs
Wondering who you were
Well, I was gonna blow you clear down to Miami
With my cool and social art
But I ended up awkward and I guess in the struggle
I must have lost my heart
So goodbye old buddies
And goodbye running wild
I'm making some room for a certain young lady
And I guess she's gonna stay awhile
Walks in the country, sleeping bag weekends
And fumbling in the night
Now look at me planning my life 'round this stranger
Such a sorry sight
So goodbye old buddies
And goodbye running wild
I'm making some room for a certain young lady
And I guess she's gonna stay awhile
Now, here we sit in our only night bedroom
All legal and settled down
Talking 'bout light bills and diapers and T.V.
And watching this world spin around
So goodbye old buddies
And goodbye running wild
I'm making some room for a certain young lady
And I guess she's gonna stay
So goodbye old buddies
And goodbye running wild
I'm making some room for a certain young lady
And I guess she's gonna stay, I guess she's gonna stay
She's gotten all moved in, for awhile
