lyrics

You got on at the depot by the feed store clock

I seen you through the window, hands wrapped 'round your box

I watched that county driver near the Union Hall

You got off four stops early, just to match my walk

Your boots hit gravel by the Baptist fence

You said the air felt good, and I made sense

That paper sack swung low from your left hand

I turned off Main and let the night make plans

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

We crossed by the laundromat, one dryer still on

Your sleeves held a stripe of flour from the pawn

I kicked a beer cap over by the curbside drain

You laughed at my old jacket from the TVA train

Your hair caught dust from the shoulder road

I slowed my step, let the whole town go

You said you didn't mind the long way home

So I walked beside you where the ditch weeds grow

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

If that bus comes round and you ain't there

Let it roll on by, I don't care

You chose the dark and the miles in between

And I took that as kindly as it ever could mean

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early
