(marshall crenshaw)
I drew the shades down and locked the door
The telephone rang, I didnt want to know why
On a wind-blown mountain road
Im driving alone, under the darkening sky
Until only an hour ago
Had a head full of grave concern
It was only an hour ago
Im gonna leave it all alone
For when and if I do return
Ive got this road all to myself
For on and on as far as my eyes can see
With ten kinds of misery, in back of me
Right where I want it to be
Until only an hour ago
Those four walls were closing in tight
It was only an hour ago
Im not many miles away
But Im feeling more like "right"
I see the lights of another town
Down around the other side of the hill
But I dont feel like slowin down
When tomorrow comes
I might be movin still
This is where I wanna be for awhile
In not much time at all
I know Ill be able to smile
Until only an hour ago
Those four walls were closing in tight
It was only an hour ago
Im not many miles away
But Im feeling more like "right"
I had to go
It was just time
Too many mean things on my mind
I see the lights of another town
Down around the other side of the hill
But I dont feel like slowin down
When tomorrow comes
I might be movin still
This is where I wanna be for awhile
In not much time at all
I know Ill be able to smile
Until only an hour ago
Had a head full of grave concern
It was only an hour ago
Im gonna leave it all alone
For when and if I do return
(only an hour ago)
