My old Telecaster
The one I said I'd never sell
Fourteen hundred bucks later
I'm feeling fine and rich as well
Trilobites once roamed the sand
Gone for good where did they go
Fish grew legs and walked on land
Lovers walk out too you know
So don't stay forever
I don't need anniversaries by the score
Just stay until I don't love you anymore
Stay a couple lifetimes
Or just a night or three
I'll hide the clocks and calendars
It's all the same to me
My old high school yearbook
I follow faces grade to grade
Bangs and zits and braces
The best mistakes I ever made
Mastodons once sank in tar
Ice age come and ice age go
Glaciers spread out near and far
Lovers cool off too you know
So don't stay forever
I don't need anniversaries by the score
Just stay until I don't love you anymore
