We could sit beneath the evening   And let the day turn blue   I could never let the darkness   Replace the thought of you      C'mon darling let's catch that train   To wherever we call god   Maybe it's in Massachusetts   Or maybe not      It's just you and I   It's just you and I, my dear   Just you and I   It's just you and I      Let's keep our boots pointed west   Stay left of the police   I know you're like a freight train   To escape your family      You've got a father who has done you wrong   And a mother who doesn't care   Get your backbone up my darling   Let down your hair      It's just you and I   It's just you and I, my dear   Just you and I   It's just you and I      When all the world turns into hospitals and jails   I can always count on your love to be my bail   And we'll go traveling on from year to year   Just you and i, my dear      I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons   Of cigarettes, cigarettes   I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says   No regrets, no regrets      I've got your love draped all around me like   A big black cape, a big black cape   All the billboards on the highway say   Don't be late, don't be late      It's just you and I   It's just you and I      When all the world turns into hospitals and jails   I can always count on your love to be my bail   We'll go traveling on from year to year   Just you and I, my dear      Well I woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor   I was listening for your knocking   But you weren't outside my door   And I know that you won't be coming 'round      In the way I want you to   I wish you'd throw your arms around me   But it's not for me, it's not for me   It'll be just me, it'll be just me      And I know I never told you how i felt   But you could never understand   The blues that you have dealt me   So I'll keep traveling on from year to year      It'll be just me, my dear   It'll be just me, my dear   Same thing year after year   It'll be just me, my dear
