Only An Hour Ago Lyrics - Marshall Crenshaw

I drew the shades down and locked the door 

The telephone rang, I didn't want to know why 

On a wind-blown mountain road 

I'm driving alone, under the darkening sky 

Until only an hour ago 

Had a head full of grave concern 

It was only an hour ago 

I'm gonna leave it all alone 

For when and if I do return 

I've got this road all to myself 

For on and on as far as my eyes can see 

With ten kinds of misery, in back of me 

Right where I want it to be 

Until only an hour ago 

Those four walls were closing in tight 

It was only an hour ago 

I'm not many miles away 

But I'm feeling more like "Right" 

I see the lights of another town 

Down around the other side of the hill 

But I don't feel like slowin' down 

When tomorrow comes, I might be movin' still 

This is where, I wanna be for awhile 

In not much time at all, I know I'll be able to smile 

Until only an hour ago 

Those four walls were closing in tight 

It was only an hour ago 

I'm not many miles away 

But I'm feeling more like, "Right" 

I had to go, it was just time 

Too many mean things on my mind 

I see the lights of another town 

Down around the other side of the hill 

But I don't feel like slowin' down 

When tomorrow comes, I might be movin' still 

This is where, I wanna be for awhile 

In not much time at all, I know I'll be able to smile 

Until only an hour ago 

Had a head full of grave concern 

It was only an hour ago 

I'm gonna leave it all alone 

For when and if I do return 

Only an hour ago 

Only an hour ago 

Only an hour ago 

Only an hour ago
