lyrics

Say my name when you think of me I get lonely every night
And this sweater never smells of where it's been
Sounds up here give a lady some fearful traffic in her dreams
I keep waiting for the peepers to set in

And I feel like a little ghost
I'm a good girl
I said I'm a good girl
I wanna go home every night

Harvest time out of habit I hold my heart and pray for rain
It keeps raining but it all goes down the drain
You know the sky at a funeral?
Well it's a funeral all the day
I get colder but the seasons never change

I'm awake in my bed again
I'm a good girl
I said I'm a good girl
I wanna go home, my mother's on the porch
And she's calling my name

Amity
I'm not trying to make the papers
I told myself you were coming home
Let dinner get cold on the stove
I said I'm trying to make it on my own
I took a ride in a motorcar
I made a home where the river broke and then I knew
That there was nothing left to do

Say my name when you think of me I lie listening in my bed
Pass the hours count the towers overhead
Each morning I feel a little wise and a little more alone
I'm a hundred walking hours from my home

And I feel like a rodeo
I'm a good girl
I said I'm a good girl
I wanna go home my mothers on the porch

Amity
I'm not trying to make the papers
I told myself you were coming home
Let dinner get cold on the stove
I said I'm trying to make it on my own
