Useless Desires Lyrics - Patty Griffin

Say goodbye to the old street 

That never cared much for you anyway 

And the different colored doorways 

You thought would let you in one day 

Goodbye to the old bus stop 

Frozen and waiting 

The weekend edition 

Has this town way over-rated 

You walk across the baseball green 

The grass has turned to straw 

A flock of birds tries to fly away 

From where you are 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend 

I can't make you stay 

I can't spend another ten years 

Wishing you would anyway

NEW SONG: Thomas Rhett 'Remember You Young' - LYRICS 

How the sky turns to fire 

Against the telephone wire 

And even I'm getting tired of useless desires 

Everyday I take a bitter pill 

It gets me on my way 

For the little aches and pains 

The ones I have from day to day 

To help me think a little less 

About the things I miss 

To help me not to wonder how 

I ended up like this 

Walk down to the railroad track 

And ride a rusty train 

With a million other faces 

I shoot through the city veins 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend 

You wanted to be free 

And somewhere beyond the bitter end 

Is where I wanna be 

CHORUS 

Say goodbye to the old building 

That never tried to know your name 

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend 

You won't be seeing me again 

Goodbye to all the window panes 

Shining in the sun 

Like diamonds on a winter day 

Goodbye, goodbye to everyone 

How the sky turns to fire 

Against the telephone wire 

It burns the last of the day down 

And I'm the last one hanging around waiting 

On a train track and the train never comes back 

And even I'm getting tired of useless desires
