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 mamacita
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
