Many years from now
when you are older and much wiser
that you felt this way today
will be a thing to laugh about
Coming down from a one-horse town
the debutante of the local haunt
with nothing but your life ahead
of you and still you doubt
You want to jump a train
seek your fortune and your fame
but you know its all in vain
here you sit here you remain
dreaming of a world you'll never see
Come with me
there's a way to make it better oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
man or woman it doesn't matter oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
bring your worries and your burdens
and come with me just come with me
Wanting more at forty-four
than station-wagon taxi driver
turn your back on twenty years
and file for divorce
Still alive at fifty-five your
kids are driving taxis of their own
you wonder if it's really
better now or worse
You made a tough decision
suffered from its deep incision
bloody thing has never really healed
Come with me
there's a way to make it better oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
man or woman it doesn't matter oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
bring your worries and your burdens
and come with me just come with me
Ah-ah-ah
Many years ago when you were
younger and much wiser
that you'd still be in this place today
did not occur to you
Settle down in a crowded town
and watch the weeks turn into years
and all your childhood fantasies
just fade into the blue
Once you tried to break the cycle
could not cut the umbilical
bitten once shy forevermore
Come with me
there's a way to make it better oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
man or woman it doesn't matter oh
come with me just come with me
Come with me
bring your worries and your burdens
and come with me just come with me
Ah-ah-ah
