"I left my coat in Irving, Texas"
(Brought to you courtesy of my forgotten winter coat, a wound from which I fear I shall never recover.)


The loveliness of Pittsburgh
It kinda makes me blanch
The glory that was Nome
Brings wounds I cannot stanch
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Monroeville
And I'm coming home to my place in Valley Ranch

I left my coat in Irving, Texas
On the stairwell, it calls to me
To be where massive, huge crane flies
Fly right into my eyes!
And the evening crap will hit the fan

My love waits there (my love waits there) in Irving, Texas
In heat so fierce it fries the grass
When I come home to you, Irving, Texas
Your golden sun will cook my ass!

I left my coat in Irving, Texas
On the stairwell, it calls to me
To be where massive, huge crane flies
Fly right into my eyes!
And the evening crap will hit the fan

I don't care

My love waits there in Irving, Texas
In heat so fierce it fries the grass
When I come home to you, Irving, Texas
Your golden sun will cook my ass!

Yeah

1. I left two coats in Austin, Texas
last time I was there. I'm getting them back this weekend, when it will be too warm to wear them.

And I left my nice watch.

And my wedding ring. And a pair of earrings. And a bracelet and a necklace.

I'm a little forgetful sometimes.

2. It's not easy going from cold to hot and back to cold
I'll be so happy to be in one place! I told myself I wouldn't return to Pittsburgh without the darned thing, but in the mad dash to the airport yesterday I forgot it. I have a couple of other coats, but that one is so good for so many situations! Sigh.

Sorry I didn't get to meet you at the Dallas meetup - hopefully I'll get to in a few months!

3. I left a really nice jacket in San Antonio
among a whole lot of other stuff. But, since we are talkign about coats - this one I left at Taco Land. Blue, with plaid insides, London Fog. I miss it. I checked back, Ram didn't find it.
