Big Black Car

You were a phonograph, I was a kid
 I sat with an ear close, just listening
 I was there when the rain tapped the way down your face
 You were a miracle, I was just holdin' your space
 Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
 The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
 Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car
 I swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own
 And through the glass the corn crows come like rain
 They won't stay, they won't stay for too long now
 This could be all that we know of love and all
 Well, you were a dancer and I was a rag
 The song in my head, it was all that I had
 Hope was a letter I never could send
 Well, love was a country we couldn't defend
 Through the carnival we watch them go round and round
 All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns, ah-aah
 Well, you were a magazine, I was a Plain Jane
 Just walking the sidewalks and covered in rain
 Love to just get into some of your stories
 Me, all of my Plain Jane glory
 Just me and all of my Plain Jane glory
