Denouncing November Blue (Uneasy Writer)

Denouncing November Blue (Uneasy Writer) - The Avett Brothers

November came and went

Like a summer that I spent

With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes

I returned to my home

With a heart part made of stone

And I cried all night for a girl I never knew

From the east it comes

Her love and the rising sun

And I pray each time they come it's not the last

You see I've got strong

I made it through what came along

But I can't move on for the beauty of the past

Came across a pretty girl

For about a month she was my world

And I held her hand and swore we'd never part

I moved on she stayed behind

I said I'd call she said she'd write

We lost touch the moment I drove off

I left town like a gambler with

The sense of cashin' all the chips

Before I lost them all on a bad deal

I made believe I was in a race

Drove ten thousand miles in seven days

While writing a book called being a free man

Met more people than the president

The good times came and the good times went

And I learned how to ignore my hunger pangs

I looked ahead to the open road

Thought about the people and what they know

And wrote a book called people don't know nothing

No matter what they tell ya man

Once I spent my last dime

And counted the ratio of miles to time

I looked up to my disdain and my surprise

I had driven my car around the world

Ended back in the town with the girl

So I wrote a book called life in prison

I see that girl every now and then

And we drink to having such good friends

And apologize for the way it did not last

Funny thing that it's all true

And I'll always love November blue

But I turned her down for the beauty of the past

November came and went

Like a summer that I spent

With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes

I returned to my home

With a heart part made of stone

And I cried all night for a girl I never knew
