No Expectations

Such a long time ago back in '72
he broke your heart and made a mess out of you
A year you'd been together and you'd had a good time
but when I first met you I could see that you'd been crying
A little while later 1973
That's when you started sneaking 'round with me
I saw you in class, I saw you in the hall
but we were not interested in school at all
Down the street where the cringers meet
out into the smoke down on Mission Street
Mark had a Vespa and Dougy had the truck
and we would go riding and we would test our luck
Jimi so loud on the stereo
If Roscoe had wings I don't know where he would go
maybe to Robin's house, his mom was cool
She'd seen it all and she was nobody's fool
We said - we had no expectations
sure didn't want to be tied down
Pretty soon this was more than just flirtation
sure had our fun runnin' around
Marty broke away, went to live in the woods
he made Dog Creek sound pretty good
Out past the Inkwell, there on the right
Rescued you from your parents wrath that night
It was not hard then, to believe
we wore our hearts right on our sleeve
Had no worries about the cost
but when we lost Jon that innocence was lost
We did say - we had no expectations
sure didn't want to stay in that town
Flew off like the birds on their migration
with no idea where we'd settle down
Sometimes we'd take in the Lion's Share
the Sons were often playing there
We'd dance 'till we were in a daze
Unlock the door invite the band to graze
We had the key so we could clean the floor
At 17 it felt like it was our store
Pedro and Emilio never seemed to care
we did our jobs - somehow it all seemed fair
From Graceland Drive to Blossom Court
took about a half an hour on my 10-speed bike
But it was well worth it, though the road was steep
just to go and see - the girl that I like
So what do we know and how can this be?
We're still together and you're singin' with me
Our kids are about as old as us when we met
and the road we started on, it isn't done yet
We always did have good communication
right from the start we had that down
That's my only explanation
true love really can be found
