Longshot Lyrics - Common Rider

When I was the one with the ruined look 

Clustering around my face and 

Every last corner of the day was bruised and gray 

Who drove tired in the rain 

Just to dump my gin down the drain 

Arguing me back from the ledge, I can still hear you say: 

"Every single thing is bound to come and go" 

Woah everything collides 

and the rain starts falling down 

It's a longshot longshot 

but underdogs don't drown 

Woah step into the bullets 

but never touch ground 

It's a longshot longshot 

but we won't be shot down 

So who's this with the car collision ache and the very last dime 

telling me they can't keep guard one more blood night 

Don't you know I am coming 

With the lucky strikes and something 

You used to say now tell me if I got it right: 

"Every single thing is bound to come and go" 

So people do weird things to each other 

That the consolation book doesn't cover 

And if this night's been practicing you 

In a page of rain on the old war wound 

Flatline blue and the taste of loss 

Call me I'll wade the tides with you boss 

We will take this flood apart 

And drag this lake for its watery heart
