Tucker's Town
Hootie And The Blowfish · The Best Of Hootie & The Blowfish (1993 Thru 2003) [2004]
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief
'Cause it wasn't me that you were clinging to
He made you turn around
You do that thing you do
And then you laughed with me
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but she's watching me leave
Just wish they'd turn around
Just wish they'd try to see
But they don't understand and that's alright with me I'm leaving now
Going down to Tucker's Town
Where I can lie for free
Nobody stares at me and I'd love to hurt the population
She called last night
I said I'm about to leave
Then I heard him scream, "I'll pack your bags"
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm makin' time to call
I don't know
What I can't see
I don't know but I'm leaving here
To see the world through your Rosy glasses
I'll teach you to fly but they teach greed
We live the belt but I can bleed
I don't know...
What I can't see...
I don't know
What I can't see
Control has left me
And i can't feel another thing
so let me hold you down
