Rockin' Chair

There is thunder in the alley
and the leaves refuse to die
i never knew how to laugh, babe
since the day i saw you smile

you said you never liked the winter
but you'd love to share a beer
i like to lay right here beside you
while i endow you with all my years

and i keep on waitin'
while the sun crawled up the hill
i got tired of foolin' myself
but i'm sure i will

you send out those vibrations like the strings on a guitar
stuck in this dead end you're my getaway car
constantly moving but still standing there
chained to this mad world like an Old Rockin' Chair

i know my haircut's a disaster
let's put on our fancy shoes
i wanna drown in your laughter
and change my ways for you

i like the way you do your make up
how you begin your days
i never knew how to dance, babe
till the band refused to play
