You were chasing him down Broadway on that white hot July

'Cause he thought he'd got a message from some holy man on high

He said his chance had finally comehe'd done it on his own

He had to leave his past behindthe first thing that

You put him in an airplane and packed your life and clothes

You learned all the lessons that the suitcase lady knows

He said Something still drags me back from where I'm heading to

You didn't really understand 'til the next thing

You sometimes had to swallow hard as you saw him on the dial
