Still Three Shy Lyrics - Teenage Graffiti - Pink Spiders

The interstates and eighteen wheelers 

The sketches on the rest stop bathroom stalls 

I call her from a hotel pay phone 

So far from it all 

The odometer is hypnotizing 

The tires turn the dirt for miles and miles 

I wanna see the Nashville skyline 

Only for a while 

'Cause I heard about the party last night 

I heard that there were drugs and fist fights 

When all I see are miles of streetlights 

That's when I miss home 

So I try, try, try to forget it 

But I die inside every time I miss it 

'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget 

It's not a party when we're gone 

And if the cops come by, have a drink 

And tell them this one's for the boys 

And I will try, try, try to forget 

That I'm gone 

A thousand miles until the ocean 

Casinos sit a couple miles ahead 

The city's in the rear view mirror 

Tennessee's in bed 

And I'm drinking at the Blackjack table 

A cigarette is hanging from my lips 

My head is spinning round in circles 

As I take a sip 

'Cause I heard you split a cab right last night 

I hope you found your way home alright 

'Cause underneath a sea of bright lights 

I feel alright here 

And I try, try, try to forget it 

But I die inside every time I miss it 

'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget 

It's not a party when we're gone 

And if the cops come by, have a drink 

And tell them this one's for the boys 

And I will try, try, try to forget 

That I'm gone 

And I try, try, try to forget it 

But I die inside every time I miss it 

'Cause you're still three shy, don't you forget 

It's not a party when we're gone 

And if the cops come by, have a drink 

And tell them this one's for the boys 

And I will try, try, try to forget 

Yes, I would try, try, try to forget 

I'm gonna try, try, try to forget 

That I'm gone
