von Things Were Never Good If They're Not Good Now

116 West Main, Durham, NC Songtext
It's a good thing the days keep rolling over like they do
And it's a good thing there's a day off
Before the day of the show
In the city where you live

And like most of the men who came before me
In my family
Well, I'll likely keel over in a corn field
Thinking once of your face
Once of your voice
Once of your heaving chest and say

I tried to be horrified by you
I tried to be satisfied with you
I tried to be less uptight around you
I tried, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I?

And if ever my motivation
Should fall under some shadow of doubt
Well, I'll tip hat to the crowd
Tip my server real well
And show myself out

And if ever I used to say
I can't live without it
I used to swear I was born to do it
Hell, well the next guy was too

I tried to be horrified by you
I tried to be satisfied with you
I tried to be less uptight around you
I, tried
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I

It's good thing the days keep, rolling over
And it's a good thing there's a bookstore
By the stage door, with the name I'm looking for
