I study up my hollow
Piece of wood to follow
A day that doesn't come

To the lucky

And I realize there's tomorrow

But I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem
So pot-lucky


Well I'm cruising El Paseo
In my off-white coup back '65

Or I'm cruisin down my own street
And my hooptie says to me
You better hang on to your bench seat

I'm gonna take you for a ride

And I'll let you know

When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know


But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home


So I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me

Uncomfortable as a centerfold

And I realize your behind me

To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold


Well I'll be gone tomorrow
Yes I'm on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school

It won't be for too long

And I'll let you know

When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know


But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home


And I want a leather jacket
But only if I have the time

Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis
And grab an old Gretch 59


And you'd hardly recognize me if you
Saw me from behind


And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know


And I'll let you know
When it comes

Just when it comes
I'll let you know


But don't stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If I'm not home


And I'll let you know
I'll let you know

Well I'll let you know
