Story Behind The Song
Song I wrote while hitchhiking home. I was eating in a mission and the lyrics came to me.
Later I sat under a tree by the rail road and worked it up. It's written for my soul mate Rene' Baily.

Lyrics
I know what you been thinking about me/I been gone just about a month this time/ I don't wanna know what ya did around here without me/ just give me a kiss and we'll start over one more time
I know what you think I must have been doing truth be known I ain't been doing much but thinkin' about you/ no those marks on my arm aren't from shooting/ I had to sell my blood to get back home to you
I ain't got time for an argument/got no time for a fight/ I just wanna get in your loving arms and hold you through the night
No, I ain't been seeing nobody/ Just hanging with my friends Jack Daniels, Evan and Jim/ I needed a moment or two to get my head clear/ in a Month or so I'll probably be gone again
