Yellow Coat Steve Goodman

It's a long time since I saw you last
Tell me how you've been
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
Do the flowers in your window box
Still smile when you walk in?
Did you ever read the letters that I wrote?
And I've been on the road since Christmas
But it don't seem so long
Outside of that there isn't much to say
I cut down on my drinkin'
And I wrote another song
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
Remember all the mornings
That we walked around the park
The nights we babysat for Billy's kids
And all the times we used to talk
Of having one ourselves
I don't remember why we never did
Do your neighbors still complain a bit
When the music gets too loud?
Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed?
Do you still walk around
As if your head was in the clouds?
Have you heard a single thing I've said?
And it's a two day drive to New York
I guess I'd better go
Did you notice that the weather's gettin' cold?
And it's a long time since I saw you last
And tell me how you've been
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
