Lyrics Checked out Early - Blair Crimmins and the Hookers

Checked out Early

I woke up staring at a dead man’s toe
Took off the tag to pack my bags and go
I wrote you a note, nailed it to the front door
Southbound now and I don’t live here no more
The broken mirror’s in your bathroom drawer
When the devil comes out
You wondering where I’m at
Say I checked out early and I ain’t coming back
No, I ain’t coming back
There gold horn blowing from the center of town
Tried to walk with my shoe soles melt to the ground
I looked to the sun, never shined on me
Dark clouds hanging and they just won’t leave
I get the feeling every time I breath
Like I’m sucking in soot 'til my lungs turn black
And I checked out early and I ain’t coming back
No, I ain’t coming back
Got my thumbs river side hitching a ride
Picked up an oil tanker nine miles high
I went to the top to give him my last dime
Stood up on the deck and watched the wake from behind
Looked like a tidal wave of mud and grime
And who would’ve though that I would get the last laugh
When I checked out early and I ain’t coming back
No, I ain’t coming back
