Barstow Lyrics by Billy (Rock)

Blue Skies, Blue Everything

0

[Verse 1]
I drove out Barstow way
To stand before a room of drunks and play
And through the smoke and lights I couldn't see somebody staring my way
Someone who'd reach out across the darkness and find me
We talked until two
My song belonged to her when we were through
And though something in her eyes told me this song would end in a minor key
Well, you could sooner stop a landslide in high country

[Chorus 1]
I told her if our paths crossed in Barstow again
I will offer my right hand as a friend
But one thing I know is true
I love just one woman and that woman's you
That's how I left it then and therе

[Verse 2]
I haunted that old bar
Every time my drivе out west brought me that far
And on the night I gave up hope and drank a toast to her memory
Well, son, she walked in and sat down beside me

[Chorus 2]
And our paths crossed in Barstow again
And I offered my right hand as a friend
But her eyes were filled with fire, and
Wept at the altar of desire
In the mornin', she was gone again

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Days turned into years
And I mark the calendar with my tears
Then one night, as I dreamed of the desert
The ringing of the phone tore me from sleep
She talked through most of the night
But I only heard a few things
I heard "I love you", I heard "but I can't", and I heard
Something about "security"
All of my sadness turned to anger

[Chorus 3]
I told her if our paths crossed in Barstow again (If you call again)
And you offer your right hand as a friend (I've got you to blame)
I will turn my back on you, and
My silence will tell you that we're through
You won't have to ask me how I've been

I won't let you warm your hands by the burning in my heart
You won't have to ask me, baby
You won't have to ask me, no
You won't have to ask me how I've been
