I never will forget it for as long as I'm alive. I was hitching out of N'Awlins on highway 55. It had been a couple days since I'd had a bite to eat. I was tired, I was hungry, I was dizzy from the heat.
This old town doesn't make it anymore. Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot to the floor. And I'm only....half way home.. . I think that push is coming to shove.
I've been driving down this road since time out of mind. I can hardly remember what I'm hoping to find. I think I was in Little Rock a couple days ago.
Come out, Baby. Let's go rockin' tonight. Come out, Baby. Let's go rockin' tonight. There's a Blues band playing. And I feel alright. . I'll pick you up, Baby, about a quarter to nine.
I can see. I can see.. That you've been working for the death of you and me.. . You set the traps.. And lit the match.. Told me I was selfish and I didn't understand..
You look so pretty. I am so possessed by you.. Just such a goddess. I am so consumed by you.. . You pin me down, with just a look.. Oh tell me why I'm full of hate..
I am running scared from the girl of my dreams. down an open alleyway.. . Automatic weapons and a couple of knives.. That's the way that we like to play..
I'm climbing through the valley of truth.. Breathin' the dust of me and you.. . Bury it all.. The scars of your love.. The sins in your story.. The blood of your falls..
I'm sitting in my car with a one-shot pistol.. I've got a couple bottles and a couple handles.. I light a match to marlboro candle.. . Praying for a life that will leave me breathless. I wanna.
Give me a reason darling. Why he's better than me.. I stalked him everyday I can't find a single thing.. You're hearing voices saying you should take me back..
Wake up every morning.. Believing in the lie.. . I turn to kiss you softly.. Before I realize.. . These bitter days.. A cold reality.. If only you could understand....
Oh baby here we go. I'm gonna try to figure you out.. I like your pretty clothes, but my words are glued to my mouth.. . And I am awkward, I am stumbling, I am bombing like the hindenburg..
I swear I think the stars aligned.. When you walked through the bar.. . I'm turned to stone and I am terrified.. And wondering who you are.. . You make the conversation stop..
I went down to the ocean. For the answer.. I went down to the ocean. Tasted water. And cried.. You are so far from me. 2000 miles but who's counting..
I remember every bitter word.. All your tears flood my mind.. I been starin' at this empty glass.. And all my fears come to life.. . Here I stand.. Alone in the dark..
Look me in the eye.. Hold me with a kiss.. I don't care about the what or the why.. . Take me through the night. Take me through the night.. I don't care if every word is a lie..
Incite the riot. Ignite the war. Blood covers the ground,. Yet we thirst for more. We fight for no purpose, no reason, just lust. Till you're face down in blood, piss, and rust.
From the ashes we rise with a thirst and bloodshot eyes. It's a shame that we live in the skin that we're in and breathe the same air as the flies. That circle our corpses.
Welcome to fountain cave. Where evil thrives and sinners pray. Martial law fails to comply. authority won't bat an eye. . You'll be skinned on spot shall you opt too cause our fall.
It eats the mind. It eats the soul. IT EATS YOUR BODY. Your skin to coal. Malevolent intent to the utmost height. An uphill battle fought against the pain and the fear.
