Lyric Only An Hour Ago

(Marshall Crenshaw)

I drew the shades down and locked the door
The telephone rang, I didn t want to know why
On a wind-blown mountain road
I m driving alone, under the darkening sky
Until only an hour ago
Had a head full of grave concern
It was only an hour ago
I m gonna leave it all alone
For when and if I do return
I ve got this road all to myself
For on and on as far as my eyes can see
With ten kinds of misery, in back of me
Right where I want it to be
Until only an hour ago
Those four walls were closing in tight
It was only an hour ago
I m not many miles away
But I m feeling more like "right"
I see the lights of another town
Down around the other side of the hill
But I don t feel like slowin down
When tomorrow comes
I might be movin still
This is where I wanna be for awhile
In not much time at all
I know I ll be able to smile
Until only an hour ago
Those four walls were closing in tight
It was only an hour ago
I m not many miles away
But I m feeling more like "right"
I had to go
It was just time
Too many mean things on my mind
I see the lights of another town
Down around the other side of the hill
But I don t feel like slowin down
When tomorrow comes
I might be movin still
This is where I wanna be for awhile
In not much time at all
I know I ll be able to smile
Until only an hour ago
Had a head full of grave concern
It was only an hour ago
I m gonna leave it all alone
For when and if I do return
(Only an hour ago)
