From the recording Come With Me demo r8
Curtisonic recorded this demo in 1987 in his home studio in New York on an old 8-track reel-to-reel. It remained in the closet until October 2021 when he came across it under a pile of old songs, dusted it off, and decided to remix and master it.

LYRICS
(La traducción al español sigue)
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 youll 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 its 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

LETRAS traducidas en español
Dentro de muchos años
cuando seas mayor y mucho más sabio
que hoy te sentiste así
será algo de lo que reírse
Viniendo de un pueblucho
la debutante del antro local
sin nada más que tu vida por delante
de ti y aun así dudas
Quieres saltar un tren
busca tu fortuna y tu fama
pero sabes que todo es en vano
aquí te sientas aquí te quedas
soñando con un mundo que nunca verás
CORO
Ven conmigo
hay una manera de hacerlo mejor, oh
ven conmigo solo ven conmigo
Ven conmigo
hombre o mujer no importa oh
ven conmigo solo ven conmigo
Ven conmigo
trae tus preocupaciones y tus cargas
y ven conmigo solo ven conmigo
Queriendo más a los cuarenta y cuatro
que ser taxista de una camioneta
dar la espalda a veinte años
y solicitar el divorcio
Aún con vida a los cincuenta y cinco tus
hijos están conduciendo sus propios taxis
te preguntas si es realmente
mejor ahora o peor
Tomaste una decisión difícil
sufriste por su profunda incisión
la maldita cosa nunca se ha curado bien
CORO
Hace muchos años cuando eras
más joven y mucho más sabio
que todavía estarías en este lugar hoy
no se te ocurrió
Te instalas en una ciudad masificada
y miras las semanas convertirse en años
y todas tus fantasías juveniles
simplemente desvanecerse en el azul
Una vez trataste de romper el ciclo
no pudiste cortar el umbilical
Una vez mordido tímido para siempre
CORO
