When I Come Around - Lee Ann Womack

The tire well it spins where the gravel is fine

Headin' down the county road, cause I catch a glimpse of the greyhound sign —

see it through and watch it go

It’ll chase the sun till it makes it turn bright, as it heads down to Houston

town

I’m gonna catch it buddy, I just might

Someday, when I come around

When I come around, I’m a fool and a stranger

Come around, it’s a damn what they say

When I come around, dragging the anchor

So tonight, I’m dancing away

The tower it got a fresh coat of paint

It’s reading in a lot more clear

I guess it don’t matter if you know you ain’t gonna make it too far from here

She stands like a mountain

She sleeps like a child

And she won’t let her memory down

I’m gonna shake my way out of its sight

Someday when I come around

When I come around, I’m a fool and a stranger

Come around, it’s a damn what they say

When I come around, dragging the anchor

So tonight, I’m dancing away

I knew a girl she used to say, «You're living like you’re spinning around.»

We used to dance while the band used to play

Slowly, we sifted the sound

She caught the bus ten years ago today

She hasn’t called me in nine

I think now and then when I’m acting some way

How she promised to keep me in line

She chased the sun till it made her turn bright

And the band put their instruments down

I’m gonna catch her buddy, I just might

Someday, when I come around

When I come around, I’m a fool and a stranger

Come around, it’s a damn what they say

When I come around, dragging the anchor

So tonight, I’m dancing away
