Song Lyrics

Red left Cleveland on the 8th day of July,
Said "This town could burn for all I care."
Drove like hell until the smoke filled the sky
"God damn car won't get me anywhere."

Yeah, you got me in pieces
Baby it just increases
Though I think I'm going crazy
On the side, route 80
They say wisdom comes for free
Oh jewels, you know I miss you terribly
God I hope you hear me

Ah wouldn't you agree
This is an old song
This is an old song
Yeah wouldn't you agree

Well he saw her throw her sandals down the road
And he wasn't too sure of what to say
"You know the sunset in Ohio makes me mad
But something feels different today,"

Yeah, you got me in pieces
Baby is just increases
Where did you come from baby?
Oh jewels, I like the way your eyes shine when you smile
But Cleveland's not a place for you and me
Why don't you believe me?

Oh, wouldn't you agree?
This is a love song
This is a love song
Oh, wouldn't you agree?

Well we gotta get away from this town
How about Georgia
Watch the leaves come down
Greyhound, we're southbound baby
Three times,
Although yeah this time,
Yeah this time I swear

You got me in pieces
Baby it just increase
Oh where did you come from, baby?
Oh wouldn't you agree?
This isn't our song
This is a love song
This could be our song
Yea wouldn't you agree?
This is a love song
Yeah wouldn't you agree
This is a love song
Yeah wouldn't you agree?
Yeah wouldn't you agree?
Yeah wouldn't you agree?
This is a love song
Ah, wouldn't you agree?
