JOHN HIATT lyrics : "It'll Come To You"

That girl you were seein' back in '72

Somethin' 'bout a hotel room and bath water in your shoes


Were you into your Catholic thing then or some other stew


Were you both holed up in that hotel room practicing voodoo




CHORUS:


It'll come to you

Don't look back, it'll come to you


In the middle of the night, with you covers pulled up tight


It'll come to you




And that business partner you took for every red cent


You can't even remember where all of that money went

Some on liquor and women, maybe a little rent


But as far as paying it back, Buddy, you ain't made a dent




REPEAT CHORUS





Yes they'll all be standin' 'round you in your sleep

Askin' for a promise you couldn't keep


'Cause back when you were hollow inside


You were tryin' to puff yourself up with your own foolish pride




Now you're happily married with a wife and kids of you're own


But sometimes in the closet at night you can hear them rattlin' bones

Takin' bets on your future and your current postal zone


It's a spooky equation, but check out yourself, Jack, you're the great


unknown




REPEAT CHORUS
