From the recording Saturdays
Lyrics
You left California, almost nine years ago,
You spend a few days in New Mexico, before you made your way back home
You’ve got regrets you won’t remember, good times you might forget,
You remember exit signs and bad radio,
And those long nights, that August, when you lost all hope
If you could save your money,
If you could change your mind,
You won’t have to worry,
You’ll be alright
You found a place in Texas, as good as anywhere to hide
Through all your shitty jobs, and doing drugs in bathroom stalls, and restaurant parking lots
Every night while crashing on the floor, you’d think you couldn’t do it anymore,
So you stopped holding on, to those far off places in your mind,
‘Cause they weren’t there, like before
If you could save your money,
If you could change your mind,
You won’t have to worry,
You’ll be alright
I’ve watched you piss away a fortune, on missed opportunities,
You gave your twenties to cocaine & alcohol
But, I need your explanations, your excuses are pretty weak,
Just show me you care at all
If you could save your money,
If you could change your mind,
You won’t have to worry,
You’ll be alright
