lyrics

Back in the place where I grew up.
I saw many things I’ll never forget.
You wouldn’t either if you saw them like me.
A man took his dog for a walk in his Cadillac.
It was crazy, but the dog could pull along the car.

Oh, take me to St. Louis. Take me out of the rain.
Let me go to a place I can remember with not much pain.
Take me to the wall on Vandalia Avenue.
So I can play my guitar and I can always remember you.

And I was in love.
But I was too caught up to know it.
We were happier than we’d ever been.
It’s funny how things work out in the end.
Ain’t it funny how things work out in the end?

Uncle Tupelo, Deidre didn’t know.
We used to see them at Cicero’s, in the bar down below.
And every time I’d come in town.
She’d always come around.
We’d kiss in cars in the back of bars.
Even though we were spoken for.

I’ll always remember you.
