[Verse 1]
Back in the old folky days
The air was magic when we played
The Riverboat was rocking in the rain
Midnight was the time for the raid
Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela
They tore you down and plowed you under
You're only real with your make-up on
How could I see you and stay too long?
[Verse 2]
All along the Navajo Trail
Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails
Waitresses are crying in the rain
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Shoe ain't happy, neither are the kids
She needs someone that she can scream at
And I'm such a heel for making her feel so bad
[Verse 3]
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
It's hard to say the meaning of this song
An ambulance can only go so fast
It's easy to get buried in the past
When you try to make a good thing last
Back in the old folky days
The air was magic when we played
The Riverboat was rocking in the rain
Midnight was the time for the raid
Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela
They tore you down and plowed you under
You're only real with your make-up on
How could I see you and stay too long?
[Verse 2]
All along the Navajo Trail
Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails
Waitresses are crying in the rain
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?

And I'm such a heel for making her feel so bad

It's hard to say the meaning of this song
An ambulance can only go so fast
It's easy to get buried in the past
When you try to make a good thing last
