Joe Purdy Goes To Show
I used to ride the train from far away
And back again
She always asked me where I went
Used to be my closet friend
I thought I knew her well
A heart of gold
The empty shell
Of love was new
Then it fell
We threw it all away
And I heard that you ran off to England
And I heard that she was dancing in the German town
Well I can't remember
Why I was calling
And I can't stand up
Till tomorrow
I used to know you
But I forgotten
Our love was good once
And now it's rotten
Just goes to show
Just goes to show
That no one knows
When the cold wind blows
It just goes to show
So now as the years go by
I sometimes stop to wonder why
The ones we love
The times we try
To find a way to pass us by
Maybe I just think too much
Maybe I'm just out of touch
Maybe I've grown old and rough
I don't like things that don't add up
I heard that you ran off to England
And I heard she was dancing in German town
Well I can't remember
Why I was calling
And I can't stand up
Till tomorrow
Well I used to know you
But I forgotten
Our love was good once
Now it's rotten
It just goes to show
It just goes to show
That no one knows
Where the cold wind blows
It just goes to show
Make no excuses now
The way the things have all turned out
Wouldn't matter anyhow
And that ain't what it's all about
My momma don't give up
Your baby boys not lost for love
He's just slower than the rest
You know that's how he's always been
