Black Derby Jacket

Books on emerson books on thoreau
 But all I read was maps of the road
 And I was three thousand miles away from you
 All the while I was twenty-two
 What do you do to know who you are?
 The best way for me to drop out on tour
 You went to Upstate NxY (New York) to go to school
 To secure the roll with your parents
 I got a new perspective on you
 All the good and bad that we went through
 I know you better than you know you
 'Cause I got a new perspective on you
 I never needed much, I never liked to loom
 But a gesture can get me from across the room
 The first night we talked until while the sun caught up
 Transparent people melting all around us
 You left in a plane, I left in a van
 Played nightclub house-parties and auditoriums
 Saw Germany England Italy with my band
 I know you better than your new friends
 I got a new perspective on you
 All the good and bad that we went through
 I know you better than you know you
 'Cause I got a new perspective on you
 Ford Econdlane September '93
 Driving 10 hours until my eyes are blurry
 3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
 Tapes of "x" and a thermos of coffee
 6 weeks on and 10 days off
 Then I go back on the road for another show
 This is all that I've ever done
 Girl I got nothing to fall back on
 "But I got a new perspective on you All the good and bad that we went through
 I know you better than you know you 'Cause I got a new perspective on you"
