You Can Count on Me Lyrics

It was a pretty good day

Took you across the border

Sat on a stone wall

In the shade

And drank some coffee

Well you said that you used to travel

Then You lost your legs but you didn't unravel 

But it changed

Yeah it changed everything

Today we slip on the frozen river

Tomorrow we swim with nothing on

Summon up the others

When the others are gone

There's a story I tell about the desert

How I saw you up in a tree

How I watched you from a satellite

And sent you erotic pictures of me

But the desert turned into the heartland

And the heartland lead to the sea 

Not what did you expected

Expect it to be

Well it seems like forever 

Could conceivably arrive

I'm hoping for the best 

But I know better

It's late

Most things have come and gone

The water in my tap

Seems a little bit colder

And I'm happy just to see you

I'll be waiting

You, you can count on me

Well guys like me we got nothing

We cast a wide net just to see

Just to see

You can count on me

Frozen painted desert

Wake up in the Econo-line

Gap the points to get started

I'm headed for the state line

Headed for the state line

I light a candle with a stone

The way I drink alone

Well I once had a garden

A garden where everything grew

Now I'm just  looking for someone

Plow it all under

And start something new

But you

You can count on me

Ba ba ba ba Baby

You can count on me
