I study up my hollow
Piece of wood to follow
A day that doesn't come
To the lucky

And I realize there's tomorrow
But I would rather wallow
In the rain then moods that seem
So pot-lucky

Well, I'm cruising El Paseo
In my off-white coup back '65
Or I'm cruising down my own street
And my hootie says to me
You better hang on to your bench seat
I'm gonna take you for a ride now 

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

So I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold, yeah

And I realize your behind me
To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold

Well, I'll be gone tomorrow, yes
'm on the road tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It won't be for too long

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

And 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 behind

And I'll let you know
When it comes, when it comes
I'll let you know
And I'll let you know
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

I'll let you know, yeah
I'll let you know, yeah
Well, I'll let you know
