i was standing outside the igc
watching the downtown world
waitin' till it gets past three
then here come the community college girls
rock your world
mrs. mady walked up to me and said,
"what happened to the good-lookin' little girl
i used to see you with?"
i went and told her we were still we
i ain't burned the bridges yet
but i know ya have
you're fine jamie, you're all free now
it's so hard to face it
you're fine jamie you don't need me
i guess the only word left to say is goodbye
as luck would have it just when i was thinkning about those eyes you have
you and amy came on by
swinging your shopping bags
oh it hurt so bad
you walked like you were on the beach
underneath miami skies
and you gave a pretty smile to me
but it wasn't really mine
see ya 'round sometime
(chorus)
well ol' mr. defranco he came out and told us all to move along
"get out to the shore or somethin' fellas. quit waitin' around here for trouble, now go on."
so we got into manny's car and we drove around for a while until we wound up underneath the I-95 overpass and passed the bottle around some
people drivin' up the on-ramp
they climb and climb and climb, heading out of town
i bet you're up there on the road
rollin' with your windows down
and your map out
