I didn’t make the drum chair at PS DuPont
Cause I couldn’t read the music, and Mr. Chapman just scoffed
Then he stuck me on the shaker, the cowbell, and the gong
That’s when I knew my timing would always be off
That’s when I knew my timing would always be off
Kinda like meetin’ you right before this stretch
Of three weeks up the left coast onto the great Midwest
Through the Rust Belt, home to Brooklyn where I hope you’ll let me rest
My spinning head upon your chest
My spinning head upon your chest
So everybody, you better get behind me
Cause I ain’t got time to go slow
And I’m singing
Oh, my Mitsuko
I’m driving through Toledo
And I’m calling you cause I want you to know
I’ve had my fill of this lonely road
And I’m coming home
And I love you so
I wasn’t even looking and everybody said
That’s when that [?] tour sneaks up and kicks you in the head
My father told me, “Son, I’ve never seen somebody get
As much of your heart as this girl gets”
Nobody gets what this girl gets
So every mile that I compile is one less step I gotta go
‘Til I’m singing
Oh, my Mitsuko
I’m driving through Toledo
And I’m calling you cause I want you to know
I’ve had my fill of this lonely road
And I’m coming home
And I love you so
Yeah, it’s fun playing rock n’ roll
But I’d give it up just to have you (and to hold?)
Cause they don’t pay me enough money
To be this far from you, honey
And if I don’t touch your face soon
There’s no telling what I might do
Cause I’m teary and I’m tired
I am bleary-eyed and wired
And I’m passing through your hometown
Thinkin’ we should put some roots down
I don’t wanna overwhelm you, don’t wanna scare you away
But tomorrow’s just a rumor, I don’t wanna waste another day
I don’t think I believed that love could ever feel this way
I’m glad I was wrong, it was worth the wait
I’m glad I was wrong, you were worth the wait
When I said I never give my love away ever
Man, what the hell did I know?
Oh, my Mitsuko
I’m driving through Toledo
And I’m calling you cause I want you to know
I’ve had my fill of this lonely road
And I’m coming home
And I love you so
Yes, I comin’ home
And I love you so
