When It Comes Lyrics

I study up my hollow
Piece of wood to follow
A day that doesn't come to the luckyAnd I realize there's tomorrow
But I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem so pot-luckyWell I'm cruising El Paseo in my off-white coup back ' 65
Or I'm cruisin' down my own street and my hooptie says to me
You better hang on to your bench seat, I'm gonna take you for a rideAnd I'll let you know when it comes
When it comes, I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me, don't wait up for me
If I'm not home, yeahSo I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold, yeahAnd I realize you're behind me
To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retoldWell I'll be gone tomorrow, yes, I'm on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It won't be for too longAnd I'll let you know when it comes
When it comes, I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me, don't wait up for me

If I'm not home, yeahAnd I want a leather jacket but only if I have the time
Well, I'll comb my hair like Elvis and grab an old Gretch 59
And you'd hardly recognize me if you saw me from behindI'll let you know when it comes
When it comes, I'll let you know
I'll let you know, yeah, when it comes
Just when it comes, I'll let you know
But don't stay up for me, don't wait up for me
If I'm not home, yeah yeahI'll let you know, yeah
I'll let you know, yeah
Well, I'll let you know
