I pictured you riding on a train
That view of you blocked out every living thing
But I heard that you're headed back to our town
So please, darling, don't come looking for me now
That funny young man that you met out in L.A.
Is returning from a dining car with your drinks there on a tray
And I heard the two of you are journeying back to your hometown
So please, darling, don't you come looking for me now
'Cause the trees are still standing on the corner
Of the streets we chased that one dream up and down
And I heard that you're headed back to our old town
So please, darling, don't come looking for me now
Mister Dale Beavers
But I heard you found new digs just a mile from our old home
You're living in the shadows of things better left alone
And I know you wanna say that you're sorry somehow
But do you me one big favor: don't come looking for me now
I know you want to prove that you're still standing
That your life's so much better without me now somehow
But let me be the first to say congratulations
Now please, darling, don't come looking for me now
Don't come looking for me now
Don't come looking for me now
Don't come looking for me
