Lyrics
Jason
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Kind words are easy to say without passion
Never thought you'd leave me this way, you were only passin'
Tell me what can I do with my heart, now that it's broken
You watch it crumble apart then you left unspoken
Tell me Jason, do you think I'm gonna go on
Chasin' you all around the whole damn world?
It's your life but not mind
I said Jason, after all the long conversations
You took your clothes and you're leaving town
Gonna find a place in New England
But I know you'll keep on runnin' around
Goddamn can't sit still feelin'
Heard a song on the radio, had me reminiscin'
I never noticed those tender words, guess I never listened
'Bout a man in a travelling show, all his fine women
He'd go from town to town all in fine linen
Tell me Jason, do you think I'm gonna go on
Chasin' you all around the whole damn world?
It's your life, but not mind
I said Jason, after all the long conversations
You took your clothes and you're leaving town
Gonna find a place in New England
But I know you'll keep on runnin' around
Goddamn can't sit still feelin'
