Nashville Lyrics - Most Messed Up - Old 97's

well I married Caroline back in May of '99 

it was fucked up at the time but I figured we'd keep tryin' 

her brother and her dad they were spitting mad 

when I packed up what I had and took off runnin' it was bad 

it was mean I didn't care and it's gotten me nowhere 

so I'm trying to be a better man 

I turned left turns into right I turned sunshine into night 

I got my ass kicked every fight no I couldn't get it right 

I built castles out of sand I didn't understand 

why everything I planned ran like whiskey off my hand 

and my hands were never clean things I wished I'd never seen 

I'd do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin' dream 

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show 

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride 

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running 

and there's a universe that's floating out in space 

and I look up there and I can't find my face 

and I'm seein' my reflection backstage 

writin' down the same old words on the same old page 

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show 

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride 

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running 

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show 

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go 

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride 

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running 

come inside 'cause I'm tired of running 

come inside 'cause I'm tired of running
