lyrics

Ain't it strange how long the years are now
When you're in the throes
Of words you left to bleed out in your throat
Stepping out on 3rd, your head's caving in
The names and constellations changed
But I see you're tripping all the same

I can't believe sometimes the way you tell the stories now
Checking out on names I never heard you say aloud
I don't do so well alone, you see
I get cautious up in corner rooms
Or I get wrecked and end up calling you

And I lost my mind
On each and every long and lonesome night
Shake out of the bones that you never liked
I knew you when you were mine
On every drive through Carolina

My pockets are looking light
From all these bars and wishing wells
Oh to be a Norfolk Southern
On an ocean road that never knew our hell
I'm only ever lonesome at my best
An American girl in an upper room...
Somebody taught her how to flash her teeth
She settled rain clouds up inside my chest
And far out of my reach
