Only an Hour Ago - Marshall Crenshaw

I drew the shades down and locked the door

The telephone rang, I didn’t want to know why

On a wind-blown mountain road

I’m driving alone, under the darkening sky

Until only an hour ago

Had a head full of grave concern

It was only an hour ago

I’m gonna leave it all alone

For when and if I do return

I’ve got this road all to myself

For on and on as far as my eyes can see

With ten kinds of misery, in back of me

Right where I want it to be

Until only an hour ago

Those four walls were closing in tight

It was only an hour ago

I’m not many miles away

But I’m feeling more like «right»

I see the lights of another town

Down around the other side of the hill

But I don’t feel like slowin' down

When tomorrow comes

I might be movin' still

This is where I wanna be for awhile

In not much time at all

I know I’ll be able to smile

Until only an hour ago

Those four walls were closing in tight

It was only an hour ago

I’m not many miles away

But I’m feeling more like «right»

I had to go

It was just time

Too many mean things on my mind

I see the lights of another town

Down around the other side of the hill

But I don’t feel like slowin' down

When tomorrow comes

I might be movin' still

This is where I wanna be for awhile

In not much time at all

I know I’ll be able to smile

Until only an hour ago

Had a head full of grave concern

It was only an hour ago

I’m gonna leave it all alone

For when and if I do return

(Only an hour ago)
