Before They Tow My Car Away
John Hartford
Today I felt the cruel world
Through the skin of your rose colored touch
And an hour was better than nothing at all
In the knowing that that wasn't much
I'd like to eat your pretzels my love
I'd like to stay all day
But I must kiss you quick and run my love
Before they tow my car away
You haven't got change for a dollar
Besides it won't work after four
Just as soon as I lace up my work shoes
I think I should head to the door
I'd like to drink your coffee my love
I'd like to stay all day
But I must kiss you quick and run my love
Before they tow my car away
