I pictured you riding on a train That view of you blocked out every living thing But I heard that you're headed back to our town So please, darling, don't come looking for me now That funny young man that you met out in L.A. Is returning from a dining car with your drinks there on a tray And I heard the two of you are journeying back to your hometown So please, darling, don't you come looking for me now 'Cause the trees are still standing on the corner Of the streets we chased that one dream up and down And I heard that you're headed back to our old town So please, darling, don't come looking for me now Mister Dale Beavers But I heard you found new digs just a mile from our old home You're living in the shadows of things better left alone And I know you wanna say that you're sorry somehow But do you me one big favor: don't come looking for me now I know you want to prove that you're still standing That your life's so much better without me now somehow But let me be the first to say congratulations Now please, darling, don't come looking for me now Don't come looking for me now Don't come looking for me now Don't come looking for me
