We used to take the Greyhound out to the middle of nowhere just to wander around
All we needed money for was cigarettes and beer
And I know you loved me truly then cause there was never any need to make plans
Just find a spot where we could disappear
It was denim and leather
The kinda love that's light as a feather
Blowing where the winds led us to
Well precious little felt like more when I'd share it with you
I got a job in town, started wearing a suit
Every dollar I earned I'd save it all for you
I just wanted enough we'd never have to worry none
I told you I'd dress you in pearl
I bought you hyacinths, called you my hyacinth girl
Our two hearts still beat in unison
It was polyester and wool
The more I got, the more I felt that pull
To buy a house big enough for two
To get something worth sharing with you
Well ain't it a pity I'm up here living in new york city
I walk downtown and talk to myself like you were still here
You couldn't leave the life you had back there in the sticks
And if I had an ounce of courage left inside of me I'd quit this job get back to you and we could both disappear
But instead
It's silk and diamonds
It's champagne and a bowl of violets
This is the life of luxury it's true
But it ain't worth much if I can't share it with you
It ain't worth nothing if I can't share it with you
