Eric Helmkamp - So Long Tomorrow Lyrics

Girl it's getting late, and it's time to go
It don't pay to stay here anymore.
If walls could talk these rooms would tell
If dreams could walk they'd run like hell
Now lonsome's like an old suite case
That follows me from place to place
I got a heart full of love and a head full of rocks
I keep my wishes in a card board box singing

So long tomorrow I'll be leaving on that train
She's waiting at the station and she won't be back again
So long tomorrow I'll be somewhere bound for sure
I can't stay here anymore.

Go catch the moon, come back home
Sleep until it's time to roam
And roll around that lazy sun
With the fire flies and the gatlin guns
And that old man that was here before
Never took his eyes off that front door
Now he's burned and buried beneath the seeds
Of the wild flowers and the winter weeds singing

So long tomorrow I'll be leaving on that train
She's waiting at the station and she won't be back again
So long tomorrow I'll be somewhere bound for sure
I can't stay here anymore.

Go saddle up your painted pony
Leave the promises you owe me
Take the pretty lie you told me
I'll miss the way you hold me
But it's not like we've been here before
Like that old man staring at the door
Burned and buried beneath the seeds
Of the wild flowers and the winter weeds singing

So long tomorrow I'll be leaving on that train
She's waiting at the station and she won't be back again
So long tomorrow I'll be somewhere bound for sure
I can't stay here anymore
