I don't care to say what I failed to recognize Every single day from the poker to the prize Running out of Springfield I worked for the Capitol Air in the bags Found a woman there who said She had a mind to make me a messenger man If my father took his life for national plan I don't care I'm not about to stake my grave with a paper and a bucket of plans Never ever I can take the pillowcases off the yellow pillows Make a property line from the bed In the living room, the living room, the morning papers Make the most out of nothing at all So we took the room with a view of the runaway I took off my clothes and she took it for a holiday I was taken for all the things that I never had before Running out of Springfield She left me with a note saying "Bobby don't look back" And if my wife took a bicycle ride with a knife in her hand I saw it coming All the shadflies run at once with a trumpet or a train Oh I'm running from it Wait a minute, wait a minute Give a minute, baby, I can explain the aftershave Wait a minute, wait a minute, give a minute Bobby got a shadfly caught in his hair Yes he does...
