  • Think I'll pack it in and buy a pick-up
    Take it down to L.A.
    Find a place to call my own and try to fix up
    Start a brand new day

    The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up
    But I'm so down today
    She's so fine, she's in my mind
    I hear her callin'

    See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
    Trying to make it pay
    Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
    Can't begin to say

    She got pictures on the wall, they make me look up
    From her big brass bed
    Now I'm running down the road trying to stay up
    Somewhere in her head

    The woman I'm thinking of, she loved me all up
    But I'm so down today
    She's so fine she's in my mind
    I hear her callin'

    See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
    Trying to make it pay
    Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and
    Can't begin to say Writer/s: Neil Young

  • Tim from Nowhere This song feels like my life. Broken hearted musician leaves home for a chance at the big time only to find more heartbreak. Just wish I could write songs this good.
