Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer went the way of spring Winter's waiting in the wings And we haven't saved anything But it's alright 'Cause we already paid the rent There's still some money we haven't spent Go put on something different We're going out tonight [Verse 2] I have loved you for so long Even when I could only do you wrong Go see if they have our song On the jukebox over there A dollar gets you seven plays I watch you through a smoky haze Secret smile on your face Sorry if I stare [Chorus] But you look like a stranger In that old-fashioned hat And I got a pocketful of change And I don't wanna go home yet [Verse 3] Clearly I remember when I used to scratch my poems On the backs of other lovers in the Darkness of my mind Back before I made my home In the marrow of your bones Now I know your figure like my own Even from behind [Chorus] But you look like a stranger In that old-fashioned hat And I got a pocketful of change And I don't wanna go home yet [Verse 4] Hey, and we'll be married soon We'll be dancing to this very tune And then we'll have a honeymoon And then we'll start to fight Bring the tonic and the gin Say, what was your name again? Stick another quarter in And stay with me tonight [Chorus] You look like a stranger In that old-fashioned hat And I got a pocketful of change And I don't wanna go home
