I returned to my home With a heart part made of stone And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. From the east it comes Her love and the rising sun And I pray each time they come it’s not the last. You see I’ve got strong I made it through what came along But I can’t move on for the beauty of the past. Came across a pretty girl For about a month she was my world And I held her hand and swore we’d never part. I moved on she stayed behind I said I’d call she said she’d write We lost touch the moment I drove off. I left town like a gambler with The sense of cashin’ all the chips Before I lost them all on a bad deal. I made believe I was in a race Drove ten thousand miles in seven days While writing a book called "Being A Free Man". Met more people than the president The good times came and the good times went And I learned how to ignore my hunger pains. I looked ahead to the open road thought about the people and what they know And wrote a book called "People Don’t Know Nothin". (no matter what they tell ya man) Once I spent my last dime And counted the ratio of miles to time I looked up to my disdain and my surprise. I had driven my car around the world Ended back in the town with the girl So I wrote a book called "Life in Prison". I see that girl every now and then And we drink to having such good friends And apologize for the way it did not last. Funny thing that it’s all true And I’ll always love November Blue But I turned her down for the beauty of the past. November came and went Like a summer that I spent With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes. I returned to my home With a heart part made of stone And I cried all night for a girl I never knew.
