I study up my hollow piece of wood to follow
A day that doesn't come to the lucky
And I realize there's tomorrow but I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem so pot-lucky
Well I'm cruising El Paso in my off-white coup back '65
Or I'm cruisin' down my own street and my hoop tie says to me
“You better hang on to your bench seat
I'm gonna take you for a ride”
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me don't wait up for me
If I'm not home
So I wait for fate to find me a ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold, yeah
And I realize your behind me to help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold
Well I'll be gone tomorrow
Yes I'm on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It won't be for too long
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me don't wait up for me
If I'm not home, yeah
And I want a leather jacket but only if I have the time
Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis and grab an old Gretch 59
And you'd hardly recognize me if you
Saw me from behind
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes I'll let you know
I'll let you know, yeah
When it comes just when it comes I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me don't wait up for me
If I'm not home, yeah
I'll let you know, yeah I'll let you know, yeah
I'll let you know
