Police Station

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say

Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and gre

I guess you didn't see it coming / Someone's gotten used to slumming

Dreaming of the golden years / I see you had to change careers

Far away / But we both know it's somewhere

I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday

The driftwood in your eyes said nothing short of love for pay

I know you from another picture / Of someone with the most conviction

We used to read the funny papers / Fool around and pull some capers

I'm coming to pursue her

[Chorus]

Down home country I rest my face on your bed

I've got you ten times over / I'll chase you down 'til you're dead

[Verse 2]

I saw you on a TV station and it made me want to pray

An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay

What happened to the funny paper / Smiling was your money maker

Someone ought to situate her / Find a way to educate her

All the way / Time to come and find you / You can't hide from me girl

So never mind what I do

[Chorus]

Down home country I rest my face on your bed

I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

I saw you in the churchyard / There was no time to exchange

You were getting married and it felt so very strange

I guess I didn't see it coming / Now I guess it's me who's bumming

Dreaming of the golden years / You and I were mixing tears

Not today / Not for me but someone / I never could get used to

So now I will refuse to

[Chorus]

Down home country I rest my face on your bed

I met my soul mate country and I left it all for your head

I've got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead

[Outro]
