[Verse 1] I know you don't hold grudges
Against those who hold that love
You know it's renegade escapades
Can all be traced where he come from

[Verse 2] 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

[Chorus] Do you strike those years from the record?
Or do you take em face to face?
I know you're one to pull no punches, honey
And I love you that way

[Verse 3] 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

[Chorus] Do you strike those years from the record?
Or do you take em face to face?
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
And I know you'll never change

[Bridge] 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
No darling, there's no reason to forget

[Verse 4] So cancel your plans for the weekend
You'll be taking that greyhound home
And this ain't much for timing
But you can't live scared of picking up the phone

[Chorus] Do you strike those years from the record?
Or do you take em face to face?
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
I know you're one to pull no punches honey
And I love you that way
