[Fruit Bats - Feathers For Bakersfield lyrics]
You wanna know why she had to go
You're not the only one who's looking for an answer
If she could tell you what you want to know
You wouldn't be here at all so go and ask her
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
She's not your lover, don't pick up the phone
There's someone else already there to lay beside her
You waited long enough now go on home
You wait tomorrow but you'll still feel just as tired and alone
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
Walk away from
She sings the same song every night
A dark and empty stretch of Highway 99
Her arms been broken by the sun
And when she needs some rain it never comes
And when she needs some rain
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
Walk away from
You're not the only one who's looking for an answer
If she could tell you what you want to know
You wouldn't be here at all so go and ask her
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
She's not your lover, don't pick up the phone
There's someone else already there to lay beside her
You waited long enough now go on home
You wait tomorrow but you'll still feel just as tired and alone
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
Walk away from
She sings the same song every night
A dark and empty stretch of Highway 99
Her arms been broken by the sun
And when she needs some rain it never comes
And when she needs some rain
You ain't seen nothing until it turns around and leaves you
You see it coming until it finally catches up with you
But the same is true for everyone
There's some things you can't walk away from
Walk away from
