Well I used to know someone fair She had orange ribbons in her hair She was such a trip She was hardly there But I loved her Just the same
There was rain in our window The FM set was ragged But she could talk, yeah We learned to speak And one year Has gone by
Such a long long road to seek it All we did was break and freak it We had all That lovers ever had We just blew it And I'm not sad
Well I'm mad And I'm bad
And two years Have gone by Now her world was bright orange And the fire glowed And her friend had a baby And she lived with us Yeah, we broke through the window Yeah, we knocked on the door Her phone would not answer Yeah, but she's still home
Now her father has passed over And her sister is a star And her mother smokes diamonds And she sleeps out in the car Yeah, but she remembers Chicago The musicians and guitars And grass by the lake And people who laughed And made her poor heart ache
Now we live down in the valley We work out on the farm We climb up to the mountains And everything's fine And I'm still here And you're still there And we're still around
