Gimme a bet and I'll take it. I've twenty bucks says I'm gonna make it. I've got twenty two fifty in the bank. And I'd bet it all away given the chance.
I can spot your kind a million miles away. Buckle down boots and a bloodshot gaze. You talk so sweet until the going gets tough. The last job you pulled was never big enough.
Blazing a trail to the Southern cities. From the streets of our hometown. Basement bars, we played from the heart. In the company of our friends. . If I write down these memories.
Intro. . You don't talk to me,. not the way that you used-to.. Maybe I don't listen. in a way that makes you think I-do.. I've been wonderin'. . 'bout what we're gonna.
Goin' down in the same old town. Down the same street, to the same bar. And the same old faces saying, "Hi", and I don't care. Going down in the same old bar.
You know what I wish?. It was just you and me. Sitting in this corner bar. You could tell me how your are. . But I'm not gonna lie or anything. You don't even have to speak.
I've got a long, long list of things. That no one needs to see. Desk drawers filled with picture frames. Postcards tucked in underneath. . We were only young, when we moved away.
Get out a map, carve out a path path. Highlight it in fluorescent yellow. From the mountain pass to the prairie grass. Anywhere you'll go I'll follow.
My blood is thick but it still runs. Every time I was taught to bite my tongue. It's been years and the letters they still come. Still come. . So hang, hang me up on your cross.
The hardest days of the summer. They brought us here together. You know it's true. But this colder it's gettign warmer. Maybe come Septemebr I will feel brand new.
This is not my town and it will never be. This is our apartment filled with your things. This is your life, I get copied keys. Try and force a little smile, hold it a little while for you.
My love took a ride on a red-eye plane. Going home. And we're never gonna feel the same. Change this feeling under my feet. Change the sheets and then change me.
I know your heart. It is a secret thing. And you're a comedian. And you hide behind your funny face. I'm out of the shadows. And in the mirrors and the lights.
The summer months left me alone. But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm. In the night, you and I drove. Have you ever seen lightning and snow?.
I remember the way. Driving home late. Speeding all the way. Alone in the rain. . I was rehearsing a part. From down at the bar. My mouth smelled like a drink.
It's complicated. Technically I'm certified. A walking declaration. Of everything I couldn't get right. . Time is just an anchor. But 7 years I think I'm right.
I am a girl with a forgettable face. No matter my color, no matter my name. At work, there is a boy and he treats me well. My old friends from high school, I see them around.
Calling it quits. You think this is easy. I swear I hurt. You call in the jury. Call it a catch. Without any strings attached. . Well I'm looking for a soft place to land.
I'm not gonna lie. Not gonna make up my mind tonight. I'm not gonna pretend. I cleared out of town so I could clear my head. . I'm not gonna smile all the shit that's happened is gonna take a while.
