Here we sit |
Across the table from each other |
A thousand miles from both our mothers |
Barely old enough to rust |
Here we sit |
Pretending both our hearts are anchors |
Taking candy from these strangers |
Amidst the diesel and the dust |
And here we sit |
Singing words nobody taught us |
Drinking fire, and spitting sawdust |
Trying to teach ourselves to breathe |
We haven’t yet |
But every chorus brings us closer |
Every flyer and every poster |
Gives a piece of what we need |
And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold |
You’d be better off to drink your coffee black |
But I swear, the land it listened to the stories that we told |
God bless the busted boat that brings us back |
Morning’s rough |
It don’t give a damn about the mission |
Has no aesthetic or tradition |
Only lessons never learned |
And I’d had enough |
About a month ago tomorrow |
Parting holds no trace of sorrow |
For the bitter and the burned |
And the piss they call tequila even Waylon wouldn’t drink |
Well I’d rather sip this Listerine I packed |
But I swear, we’ve never seen a better place to sit and think |
God bless the busted ship that brings us back |
And the sand that they call cocaine cost you twice as much as gold |
You’d be better off to drink your coffee black |
But I swear, the land it listened to the stories that we told |
God bless the busted boat that brings us back |
