I study up my hollow
Piece of wood to follow
A day that doesn't come
To the lucky
And I realize there's tomorrow
But I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem
So pot-lucky
Well I'm cruising El Paseo
In my off-white coup back ?65
Or I'm cruisin down my own street
And my hooptie says to me
You better hang on to your bench seat
I'm gonna take you for a ride
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home
So I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold
And I realize your behind me
To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold
Well I'll be gone tomorrow
Yes I'm on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It won't be for too long
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home
And I want a leather jacket
But only if I have the time
Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis
And grab an old Gretsch 59
And you'd hardly recognize me if you
Saw me from behind
And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know
And I'll let you know
When it comes
Just when it comes
I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home
And I'll let you know
I'll let you know
Well I'll let you know
