Don't Talk Back Lyrics - The Captain - Kasey Chambers

Well it's half my heart and a little bit of soul 

That makes me feel I've gotta ride this road 

I wouldn't change it if I could 

And me and this road you 

You know we've got an understanding 

It won't leave me at home and I am 

Too tired to do just what I should 

And last night I asked if I could 

Take comfort in the rosewood 

The road said nothing at all 

Well cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard 

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car 

It won't leave me running for the door 

And if the paints still wet I can just slow down 

And it all goes away on the other side of town 

And nothing is that easy anymore 

Well the hurt won't leave with the sight of white line 

But it eases up my pain for a while 

The only habit that I keep 

And miles take time but the time is mine 

And always moving suits me fine 

I'll catch my breath when I sleep 

And after all that I've done 

I'm not half what I'd hope that I'd become 

There's still a long way to go 

Well cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard 

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car 

It won't leave me running for the door 

And if the paints still wet I can just slow down 

And it all goes away on the other side of town 

And nothing is that easy anymore 

And last night I asked if I could 

Take comfort in the rosewood 

The road said nothing at all 

Well cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard 

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car 

It won't leave me running for the door 

And if the paints still wet I can just slow down 

And it all goes away on the other side of town 

And nothing is that easy anymore 

Yeah cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard 

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car 

It won't leave me running for the door 

And if the paints still wet I can just slow down 

And it all goes away on the other side of town 

And nothing is that easy anymore
