Lost and Found

I got a quarter in my pocket
And a girl in my locket
Just for show

I can't remember her name
But she reminds me the same
of someone I know

Times got tough when she got going
Laying out on the couch not knowing
How far below

All I do is walk around
This old wore out town
Looking for my lost and found
Or just a place to lay down
Out of the rain

Sometimes you feel I don't belong
But then again I'm singing your song
Don't float away

We could count all the stars
Or plan a trip up to Mars
If you'd stay

Cause a girl like you
Knows just what to do
And what to say

All you do is walk around
This wore out town
Looking for your lost and found
Or just a place to lay down
Out of the rain

I tried to give it away
You tried to keep it in play
But it just wouldn't obey
Anything we had to say

So all we do is walk around
This broke down town
Looking for our lost and found
Or just a place to get down
Out of the rain
