You just never can tell who in the world you might meet

But you remind me of a guy I saw

Waving a 12-gauge shotgun up the end of my street

And it's funny when you end up talking to people

Or standing or waiting in line

And I saw you talk to that woman last night

And I did too and she bought me a glass of wine

If I ever break your heart I hope you know I wouldn't break your mind

She said

You pretend you're running late and I'll pretend I'm just in time

Yes yes yes yes

Yes yes

So potholders, diggers, adventurers and father figures

Leave a trail of string behind you

Look forward to the bar where the ships all run aground

And of course I've seen it happen before

Well it's not a job but it's more a gentle blow

Wear me down

Ah but that was last night and the last night in town

And the guy I talked to had bad skin and a permanent frown

When he said

If you ever meet my lover and she smiles I wouldn't waste your time

He said

If I catch you with my girl again well

Maybe next time I won't be so kind

And she said to me

I'll stay out, I'll stay out

When the sun comes up

And she was mine
