Float Away

Down Delaware River, I went with her We pulled over by the silvery blue Leather seat Chevy, sticky and sweaty We went swimmin' in our birthday suits A sleepy mamascita, thermos of margaritas We're never gonna make it back to New York now Freckles on your shoulder, get me growin' older I gotta be holdin' on to you somehow Before you, float away, float away Gone to stay and never return I keep an old photo when I ride solo, hidden away on the driver's side Torn and out of focus, I don't notice, 'til I was cleanin' out the van last night Tucked away sweetly, in an old CD, between the pages of the liner notes How could I forget you, like I never met you, mama, I never shoulda let you go Let you, float away, float away Gone to stay and never return Maybe I'll see her in an old theater When I'm rollin' like a rolling stone Pickin' out a new tune, lookin' 'round a big room In Baton Rouge or San Anton On a Saturday night, underneath the spotlight We'll communicate a secret song That I could never do right, never knew the good life Always packed up, soon to be gone And I just, float away, float away Gone to stay and never return Never return
