Said you came from a mining town. They closed the mining down. Said your daddy was a drinker. He had a picture of Jesus on his sinker. . Maybe I. Maybe I'm coming for you tonight.
Ride with you tonight, I'll ride forever. There's no way to predict this kind of weather. Ashes fall to earth, words are severed. Feathers turn to weighted iron pillars.
Well, I'm savin' this dress for my wedding day. Momma wouldn't have it any other way. She says, when she married, her waist was twenty three. I guess, I'll never wear it anyway.
Oh where, oh where were you last night?. Looked for you at the county fair. You were nowhere. You were nowhere. And I looked for you on the macon, georgia county line.
Losering, losering. Patiently. Losering, losering. . I can tell. She could tell everything. Losering patiently. . Losering, losering. Losering, losering patiently.
The banks of the river run through my hometown. As a boy I ran the dirt roads and I scraped my knees. Well, they paved the roads eventually. With neon signs and car dealerships and diners.
Parking lot, movie screen. I can't feel anything. Cigarettes, beat up TV. I can't feel anything. . Now that I, I'm inn town. I feel fine, fine for now.
Hang a picture up on your wall. Tighten all the nails so it don't fall. In this picture, could have been a picture of my face. Something painful, went and took it's place.

Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school. The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm was,. "son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool.".
Well, I found a bunch of letters. They were written for the fellow. Who broke your momma's heart. And the envelope folds. Smelled of her ancient perfume.
I know the world is a mess. I like the patterns on your dress. Would you have a drink with me please. Have a couple or three. . I see you walk by, I don't speak but try.
Well, I was thinking that I shoulda. But I didn't ever leave you but baby, I'm leavin' tonight. And theres a trucker drinking coffee in the station. Who can give me a ride.
You feel sad 'cause I got mad. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Things I said made things seem bad. But don't worry. . 'Cause it's gonna be alright now. It'll be okay.

So, the factory girl she listens. For the sound of her daddy's engine. 'Til the work bell sounds and she leaves town. . Oh, the summer's here are hot.
Well, excuse me if I break my own heart. It was mine from the finish I guess, it's mine from the start. The situation just don't seem so goddamned smart.
Shes got diamonds in her eyes that she likes to hide. Seek and you will find the hiding, seeking kind. Shes got rings wrapped around her precious things.
Why should I hate you?. After all, it's been so long. Since I've lived in town. Let it go for now. . Have a drink at your favorite bar till dark. Stumble into empty baseball park.
Put the houses in a row. On the streets we used to know. And all the things out in the yard. Beckoning there to and fro. . And if the money isn't right.
