R.E.M. — Texarkana Demo

[Verse 1] Went to take a ride out in the county Trying to forget about me and you Made believe can't you see It's coming up a storm and I'm gone Change the medium Widen the road Lessen a load [Verse 1] Went to take a ride out in the county Trying to forget about me and you I need to leave Can't you see? It's coming up a storm and I'm gone Change the median Widen the road Lessen the load for you [Chorus] When I'm there in Texarkana Where's that county line? Another county line [Verse 2] I can only see what's in front of me And you're not here Riding out in the county Trying to forget about me and you Water in Neches River flooded Washed the bridge away Had to take a detour over the overpass [Chorus] When I'm there in Texarkana Where's that county line? Another county line [Refrain] I can only see what's in front of me And you're not here [Refrain] I can only see what's in front of me And you're not here [Verse 3] Went to take a ride out in the county Trying to forget about me and you And I got stuck Behind an 18 wheel truck Flatbed Two lanes carrying pine [Chorus] When I'm there in Texarkana Where's that county line? Another county line [Refrain] I can only see what's in front of me And you're not here [Outro] You are just a memory You're in my memory And I can't see Ten minutes Ten hours Ten days Ten years Ten miles Ten-thousand miles away Why can't you see? I need to leave And you're not here You're not here Fixing to see so much clearer
