When It Comes (Revised)

I study up my hollow
Piece of wood to follow
A day that doesnt come
To the lucky

And I realize theres tomorrow
But I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem
So pot-lucky

Well Im cruising El Paseo
In my off-white coup back '65
Or Im cruisin down my own street
And my hooptie says to me
You better hang on to your bench seat
Im gonna take you for a ride

And Ill let you know
When it comes, when it comes
Ill let you know

But dont stay up for me
Dont wait up for me
If Im not home

So I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold

And I realize your behind me
To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold

Well Ill be gone tomorrow
Yes Im on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It wont be for too long

And Ill let you know
When it comes, when it comes
Ill let you know

But dont stay up for me
Dont wait up for me
If Im not home

And I want a leather jacket
But only if I have the time
Well, Ill comb my hair like Elvis
And grab an old Gretch 59

And youd hardly recognize me if you
Saw me from behind

And Ill let you know
When it comes, when it comes
Ill let you know

And Ill let you know
When it comes
Just when it comes
Ill let you know

But dont stay up for me
Don't wait up for me
If Im not home

And Ill let you know
Ill let you know
Well Ill let you know
