Space City Lyrics - A Blessing And A Curse - Drive By Truckers

If I could have one wish right now 

I'd be about as half as tough as I pretend I am 

Then I wouldn't care how empty this old house feels 

I could take her things and take them far away from here 

I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name 

Cause looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain 

I could go into town wearing my finest clothes 

I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold 

Space City's one hour up the road from me 

One hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be 

And somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone 

And somewhere she's wondering what's taking me so long 

My hands are as good to me as they've ever been 

And I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did 

But sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist 

She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I guess
