Buffalo Tab

The summer months left me alone
                           
But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm
                     
In the night you and I drove
                 
Have you ever seen lightning and snow?

                        
All these weeks without a note
                  
It's like a ticking clock
      
Every time that you phone
                        
I've run aground truth be told
                   
And when it comes to me

I'll let you know

           
Don't be like that


Just my luck an Irish rose
In a drinking hole
I'd played a thousand one shows
What you need is to just go home
And when it comes to you
Don't leave it alone
      
            
Don't be like that

Up ahead the roads were closed
And the Gennys ran most of Buffalo
The customs man at border control
Said yes you can go
But you won't make it home

            
Don't be like that
