Tire Swing

Lyrics

I took the Polaroid down in my room
 I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
 It's not as if I don't like you
 It just makes me sad whenever I see it
 'Cause I like to be gone most of the time
 And you like to be home most of the time
 If I stay in one place, I lose my mind
 I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with
 Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
 And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
 Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
 Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
 ♪
 I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
 To deliver a painting for some silly reason
 I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
 Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
 Gave me a push and he started singing
 I sang along while I was swinging
 The sound of our voices made us forget everything
 That had ever hurt our feelings
 Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
 And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
 Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
 Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
 (Wouldn't be offended)
 ♪
 Now I'm home for less than 24 hours
 That's hardly time to take a shower
 Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
 Check my email, write a song, and make a few phone calls
 Before it's time to leave again
 I've got one hand on the steering wheel, one waving out the window
 If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
 My yarns will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
 Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
 And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
 Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
 Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
 (Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended)
