We could sit beneath the evening

And let the day turn blue

I could never let the darkness

Replace the thought of you

C'mon darling let's catch that train

To wherever we call god

Maybe it's in massachusettes

Or maybe not

It's just you and i

It's just you and i, my dear

Just you and i

It's just you and i

Let's keep our boots pointed west

Stay left of the police

I know you're like a freight train

To escape your family

You've got a father who has done you wrong

And a mother who doesn't care

Get your backbone up my darling

Let down your hair

It's just you and i

It's just you and i, my dear

Just you and i

It's just you and i

When all the world turns into hospitals and jails

I can always count on your love to be my bail

And we'll go traveling on from year to year

Just you and i, my dear

I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons

Of cigarettes, cigarettes

I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says

No regrets, no regrets

I've got your love draped all around me like

A big black cape, a big black cape

All the billboards on the highway say

Don't be late, don't be late

It's just you and i

It's just you and i

When all the world turns into hospitals and jails

I can always count on your love to be my bail

We'll go traveling on from year to year

Just you and i, my dear

Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor

I was listening for your knocking

But you weren't outside my door

And i know that you won't be coming 'round

In the way i want you to

I wish you'd throw your arms around me

But it's not for me

It's not for me

It'll b
