Feathers for Bakersfield - Fruit Bats

You wanna know why she had to go

You’re not the only one who’s looking for an answer

If she could tell you what you want to know

You wouldn’t be here at all so go and ask her

You ain’t seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you

You see it coming until it finally catches up with you

But the same is true for everyone

There’s some things you can’t walk away from

She’s not your lover, don’t pick up the phone

There’s someone else already there to lay beside her

You waited long enough now go on home

You wait tomorrow but you’ll still feel just as tired and alone

You ain’t seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you

You see it coming until it finally catches up with you

But the same is true for everyone

There’s some things you can’t walk away from

Walk away from

She sings the same song every night

A dark and empty stretch of Highway 99

Her arms been broken by the sun

And when she needs some rain it never comes

And when she needs some rain

You ain’t seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you

You see it coming until it finally catches up with you

But the same is true for everyone

There’s some things you can’t walk away from

Walk away from
