Though you complain about it you like the open road
You love the pain about it all those goodbyes again
All those forgotten faces from the bargain basement
Diamonds everyone I follow them away oh yeah

If ever love is made to measure I’d take you by the lake
A tune to sing your pleasure played by a minstrel boy
But something satisfies me from the bargain basement
Sit with me a while before I fly away oh yeah

The most that I can offer is less than you can take
Go and find another from down the highway
I’ll sit and count my jewels from the bargain basement
This band of fools carries me away oh yeah
