And no you don’t hold grudges Against those who hold that love You know his renegade escapade Can all be traced where he come from
There were times when he went missing But you could always find his heart When you head back to Kingston You can find him on your old block
Do you strike those years from the record Or do you take them face to face I know you’re one to pull no punches honey And I love you that way
And the phone rings in the morning You keep picking up half asleep At times he’ll call beaming At times he’ll call you in defeat
Do you strike those years from the record Do you take them face to face I know you’re one to pull no punches honey And I know you’ll never change
And when you’re pulling into town You pass the places that you lived and as a kid you moved around But if you don’t mind, but if you don’t mind, now My darling there’s no reason to forget
So cancel plans for the weekend You’ll be taking that Greyhound home This ain’t much for timing We can’t be scared of picking up the phone
Do you strike those years from the record Do you take them face to face I know you’re one to pull no punches honey And I love you that way
