East Nashville Easter Lyrics - Singles - Yonder Mountain String Band

Engine's running hot 

But now it's burnin' down 

Everyone says that this is going well 

But I can hear every sound 

Four gray walls 

Make it all seem right 

But everything looks wrong 

In these cheap hotel lights 

[Chorus] 

Going up and down 

Down and out 

Cheap cologne and expensive perfume 

I've never seen so many lost souls in my life 

Air so thick, so busy and loud 

One crazy young man standing out in the crowd 

[Chorus] 

One of these days when the sun comes up and I'm tossin' and turnin' alone 

I'm gonna pull myself up outta this state 

I'm gonna make everything seem alright, alright 

Know how it feels with the sun in my eyes, still that heartbroken wind's at my door 

One of these days I'm gonna wreck myself and this engine won't run no more, no more 

[Chorus: x2]
