Soft Shoulder Lyrics - To The Teeth - Ani Difranco

I don't keep much stuff around 

I value my portability 

But I will say that I have saved every letter 

You ever wrote to me 

The one you left on my windshield 

Outside of the motel 

Is in the pocket of my old gig bag 

From back when life was more soft shelled 

Letters littered with little lewd pictures 

Drawn by the ghost of Woody Guthrie 

Who would use your big thick hand 

Just to draw one two for me 

And I think of your letters as love letters 

Which is how I think of songs 

In that it is the writing of these things 

That tend to carry us along 

And I dance to one of your old tunes 

With my true love on our wedding day 

And your voice sang the way my heart would sing 

That finally knew just what to say 

Two people pulled over on the same night 

To look up at the same stars 

They both found their wheels 

Were spinning in a soft shoulder 

When they got back into their cars 

They missed fate's appointed rendezvous 

And then a whole lot of time went by 

And finally they were done worshiping 

The landscape and they put down their hands 

And moved into the sky 

And they had barely said hello 

And it was time to say goodbye 

Goodbye
