Red left Cleveland on the 8th day of July,
Said "This town could burn for all I care."
Drove like hell until the smoke filled the sky
"God damn car won't get me anywhere."
Yeah, you got me in pieces
Though I think I'm going crazy
They say wisdom comes for free
Oh jewels, you know I miss you terribly
Well he saw her throw her sandals down the road
And he wasn't too sure of what to say
"You know the sunset in Ohio makes me mad
But something feels different today,"
Yeah, you got me in pieces
Where did you come from baby?
Oh jewels, I like the way your eyes shine when you smile
But Cleveland's not a place for you and me
Why don't you believe me?
Well we gotta get away from this town
Watch the leaves come down
Greyhound, we're southbound baby
Oh where did you come from, baby?
