| I woke up in Houston, in somebody’s kitchen.
|
| The ceiling was sweating, and I was afloat on a dirty brown river of heroin
|
| shivers, waiting on someone to send me a boat.
|
| I went back to Charlotte, cuz I fell in love with a girl with a stutter,
|
| who didn’t love me.
|
| She said, «I don’t believe you.
|
| I don’t believe you.
|
| I don’t believe you when you’re laying next to me."So, I went down to Tampa to
|
| find me an answer, but it wasn’t coming and neither was she.
|
| So, I tried Swananoa, where nobody knows me.
|
| Got so goddamned lonesome that I had to leave.
|
| I looked death in the face.
|
| It was only my father.
|
| If I’d known all along, I wouldn’t have bothered with being afraid,
|
| with being a coward, and trying to fool some mysterious power.
|
| Cuz, I don’t believe it.
|
| I don’t believe it when it’s laying next to me.
|
| No, I won’t believe it.
|
| I won’t believe it.
|
| I won’t believe it 'til it’s laying next to me. |
