Autumn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Autumn was a fatal time Autumn was a friend of mine Autumn was my last hope To hold out 'til Christmas time Autumn with her bright red hair Autumn with her icy stare Turned her back on the evening news In a way that said she didn't care [Chorus] Take the Greyhound Take it out of town Take it down the highway Where you might have turned around Dig your fingernails into the Naugahyde Let the countryside Slide into another time Another town, another season [Verse 2] Autumn lit a cigarette Said it's not the time to quit Ashes on the bed sheets The remote control and the TV set Autumn licked the envelope Said it was our only hope The dim light slowly fading down To the glow of the Marlboro [Chorus] Take the Greyhound Take it out of town Take it down the highway Where you might have turned around Dig your fingernails into the Naugahyde Let the countryside Slide into another time Another town, another season [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Autumn was a clean white sheet Covering all but the feet Static on the radio The ice bucket in the road Here's to what I thought was best Here's to your last request Here's to how creation Evolved into a holy mess [Chorus] Take the Greyhound Take it out of town Take it down the highway Where you might have turned around Dig your fingernails into the Naugahyde Let the countryside Slide into another time Another town, another season Another place, another reason to love autumn
