[Verse 1] I met her on a Sunday morning the sun was coming over the hill I didnt have much to offer then but she was looking at me still But love had already shown her things she never wanted to know She spent a lot of time with me just learning to let go [Chorus] She was busy looking backwards, had better things to do Left me with a coldhearted case of those bad timing blues [Verse 2] She was on a train to San Francisco, left me at the Seattle station I was trying to believe that she never left that her mind was abusy changin But that trains on a oneway track and its always making perfect time I guess Im finished wasting hers if she is finished wasting mine [Chorus] She was busy looking backwards, had better things to do Left me with a coldhearted case of those bad timing blues [Verse 3] I left her in the August rain outside a cafe in Vancouver She cried this would be the last goodbye and this time i believed her Well many days have passed and gone and oh how the times barely changed Cept I heard shes living in Michigan and she is looking for a different name [Chorus] She was busy looking backwards, had better things to do Left me with a coldhearted case of those bad timing blues [Verse 4] Maybe down the road somewhere if the fates do allow Our shadows will meet in some alley way on the wrong side of town But this aint some old time movie theres no red curtain resolve No its just a terrible mistake that neither of us could ever solve [Chorus] She was busy looking backwards, had better things to do Left me with a coldhearted case of those bad timing blues [Verse 5] The past is like a salesman who comes knockin at my door I gave him everything I got but he still comes back for more I spend a lot of time alone but I walk those busy streets I see the same lonesome look on every face I meet [Chorus] She was busy looking backwards, had better things to do Left me with a coldhearted case of those bad timing blues
