By the Cowboy Junkies off Black-Eyed Man 1991 ************************************ The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk were still a dollar AE Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart BA And the hours well, I don't mind D How they creep on by like an old love of mine A Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in BEA Guess I married too young, yeah nineteen was just too young BEAD But sometimes you meet someone and you;re guts just burn BA Its not that I dont love him anymore DE Its just that when I hear him coming through that front door AD My heart doesnt race like it did once before BEA But I got a horse out in the country DDA I get to see him every second Sunday DEDA4 He comes when I call him Yeah he knowshis name BEDA One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away DEDA The weather I could almost stand If the sun would shine a little brighter Or even if the sun would shine at all But lately it seems to me that this life has lost its mystery and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder All my friends have settled down Becoming mothers and fathers without a sound Except for Cathy, she bought a one way subway ticket and left us all behind Chorus This town wouldnt be so bad If a girl could trust her instincts Or even if a girl could trust a boy
