When It Comes

I study up my hollow
 Piece of wood to follow
 A day that doesn't come
 To the lucky
 And I realize there's tomorrow
 But I would rather wallow
 In the rain, in moods that seem
 So pot-lucky
 ♪
 Well, I'm cruising El Paseo
 In my off-white coup back '65
 Or I'm cruisin' down my own street
 And my hooptie says to me
 "You better hang on to your bench seat
 I'm gonna take you for a ride"
 And I'll let you know
 When it comes, when it comes
 I'll let you know
 But don't stay up for me
 Don't wait up for me
 If I'm not home, yeah
 So I wait for fate to find me
 A ball of string unwind me
 Uncomfortable as a centerfold, yeah
 And I realize you're behind me
 To help and humankind me
 To see my songs can be retold
 Well, I'll be gone tomorrow
 Yes, I'm on the road tomorrow
 So next time that I see you in school
 It won't be for too long
 And I'll let you know
 When it comes, when it comes
 I'll let you know
 But don't stay up for me
 Don't wait up for me
 If I'm not home, yeah
 ♪
 And I want a leather jacket
 But only if I have the time
 Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis
 And grab an old Gretch 59
 And you'd hardly recognize me if you
 Saw me from behind
 And I'll let you know
 When it comes, when it comes
 I'll let you know (I'll let you know)
 And I'll let you know, yeah
 When it comes
 Just when it comes
 I'll let you know (I'll let you know)
 But don't stay up for me
 Don't wait up for me
 If I'm not home, yeah, yeah
 And I'll let you know
 I'll let you know
 Well, I'll let you know
