Has the coast been good to you?
You still wearing the same pair of boots?
Are you still smoking those camel blues,
or did you quit those, too?
Don't know if I'd recognize you
Glasses, a few turtlenecks and a hairdo
Can't change the fact that we all knew you
drunk, crazy, dancing in a living room
You told me a handful of secrets,
but most were lies, so I can't even keep 'em
All I've got's a picture of you eating
biscuits and gravy you made us one weekend
and the one of you smiling
up in the flowers I hung from the ceiling
Climbing down the stairs and staring right at me
looking like you were gone already
The picture's too good to be true
I must have you confused
With someone I thought I knew
but he just looks a lot like you
We always agreed when we gave up on our dreams
we'd meet somewhere in Vegas next to slot machines
I don't like to gamble but I sure like to party and
you love to shroud yourself in mysteries
I bet you could count some cards
Bet we could rob this whole god damn bar
then we could drive off in some stolen car
before they knew we'd be far
far
Oh its always too good to be true
I must have you confused
with someone I thought I knew
But he just looks a lot like you
