Well we tried to move fast but we got a late start
And it was twenty-five past when we got in the car
And by the time we arrived at your place it was dark
I thought I might've been a Neal but I'm a Jack at heart
It's been a couple of years and a couple of days
I shed a couple of tears when we last parted ways
But I've been making a name for myself, anyway
I thought we might've had a deal but you don't ever pay
I thought I might've been a Neal but I'm a runaway
You think you get away with murder just because
Cause no one ever told you no one ever does
And now you're trying to find a fortune in a pile of stones
Now you're counting out the rhythm that you got in your bones
I've been brushing my teeth with a bottle of Jack
And you've been running around and causing heart attacks
And when you told me you wondered if I'm coming back
I thought it might've been for real but I know better than that
I thought I might've been a Neal but I'm a Kerouac
You think you get away with murder just because
Cause no one ever told you no one ever does
And now you're trying to find a fortune in a pile of stones
Now you're counting out the rhythm that you got in your bones
