| Well, the songs you sung spiraled and hung round like echoes or ripples on a pond
|
| So you circled the globe spent a year on the road without ever going home
|
| More than a couple of days then you leave right away
|
| Run to a girl you barely know
|
| But you like how she sings and you can’t help but think
|
| That there’s something that she knows and could teach you
|
| Well, you’re sleeping in that southern state where the the bars are filled with
|
| people you can’t hate
|
| But try as you try and you still can’t relate to them
|
| You drink that whiskey down as they ask you
|
| Are you who you say you are?
|
| The fact that we can’t tell makes us like you even more
|
| So you’re trying again or just visiting friends
|
| One had just had his heart broke
|
| For the first time in his life he realized there’s times
|
| When you can’t make it alone
|
| So now you’re giving advices as if you had the right
|
| To use a word like love (blood)
|
| It’s a negotiable term, what gets said’s not what is heard
|
| So it’s different then for everyone
|
| But you keep hanging around that college town with your new life your new lover
|
| you found
|
| And you are keeping her up at night bringing her down
|
| She’ll watch you drink yourself to death but won’t ask you
|
| Is this really what you want?
|
| Or are you just sticking with it now cause it’s all you got?
|
| Are you just sticking with me now cause I’m all you got? |
