"No Name #4" lyrics - ELLIOTT SMITH

ELLIOTT SMITH
"No Name #4"

For a change she got out before he hurt her bad
Took her records and clothes and pictures of her boy
It really made her sad
Packed it up and didn't look back
I'm okay lets just forget about him

The car was cold and it smelled like old cigarettes and pine
In her bag I saw things she drew when she was nine
Like this one here
Her alone nobody near
What a shame lets just not talk about it

No, it doesn't look like you
But you did wear cowboy boots
That's your fame
There's no question about it

Once we got back inside
With one ear to the ground
I was ready to hide
'Cos I don't know who's around
And you look scared
It's our secret do not tell okay?
Let's just not talk about it

Don't tell okay?
Let's just forget all about it
