Drowning In The Days Lyrics - Hitchhike To Rhome - Old 97's

I've been reading books when no one's lookin' 

I've been listenin' to the sirens in the night 

Robert says, "I'm goin' straight to hell, yeah" 

If I hang around here I just might 

And I'd like to take some medicine 

And like to drink some wine 

I'd like to wake up numb like all my friends 

There's a road to where I came from 

It gets longer all the time 

There's a road to where I'm goin' 

It never ends 

And my moon, it always sways 

And my guitar always plays and plays 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

I've been writing fairy tales on postcards 

Writing down the story of my life 

Carrie says, "I make everything so hard" 

Carrie says, "I'm difficult, she's right" 

And I'd like to take some medicine 

I'd like to take you home 

I'd like to get that woman off my mind 

Well I like your pouty lips 

I like your pert little bones 

But I'm sleeping with the porcelain tonight 

And my cloud, it always rains 

Ken's feedback always fades 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days 

Drowning in the days
