lyrics

I always seem to picture him riding across the countryside on his motorbike.

His name is Pat, he plays a mean slap, but I haven’t heard him play in a while.
He fixes shit on the regular, he’s like a nerd but he’s got the style of a fashionphile.
We ‘ve played in bands together, hopped bars together, got drunk together and it never could have been any better I know the weather was ever in our favor.
So here we are now, separated by borders, but I know I’ll see him soon because I always always always.

He’s got a heart, like I’ve never seen before. This man could love a woman and she’d never want more. He’s had it broken and mended and broken again, when I said he fixes shit this might be one exception. But don’t get me wrong; when I sing this song, I know all of the ladies will keep coming right along. So get in line ladies, you don’t have time maybe, you’ll catch him before he rides into the sun.

Patty Z, he and me have history, I love him for his mystery the way he seems so carefree.
