And no you don't hold grudges

Against those who hold that love

You know his renegade escapade 

Can all be traced where he come from



There were times when he went missing

But you could always find his heart

When you head back to Kingston 

You can find him on your old block



Do you strike those years from the record

Or do you take them face to face

I know you're one to pull no punches honey

And I love you that way



And the phone rings in the morning

You keep picking up half asleep

At times he'll call beaming

At times he'll call you in defeat



Do you strike those years from the record

Do you take them face to face

I know you're one to pull no punches honey

And I know you'll never change 



And when you're pulling into town

You pass the places that you lived and as a kid you moved around

But if you don't mind, but if you don't mind, now

My darling there's no reason to forget



So cancel plans for the weekend

You'll be taking that Greyhound home

This ain't much for timing 

We can't be scared of picking up the phone



Do you strike those years from the record

Do you take them face to face

I know you're one to pull no punches honey

And I love you that way
