lyrics

I am salty bittersweet.
I am black tie whiskey neat.
Tear the meat from off the bone
But keep the roaches from my feet.
A hand-rolled cigarette for the long, hard road ahead
And I've got one last wish to pray.

I don't know these trees
I don't know this dirt-packed road.
But it's better than the fall
Better than this winter I've been sold.
It's getting hard to say if I'm gladly on my way.
But that won't force these legs to set.

Move the furniture again
Torch the effigies and then
Fake a lack of concern.
Force the face to fit the frame
Bind the blemish to the blame
Watch the tensions break and burn.
These walls are speckled grit and smoke,
Plaster curdled, windows broke.
And I can't recall what made them so dear to you.
To you and me.

So now I'm sun-kissed autumn wheat
I'm still black tie whiskey neat.
Holding down the western tides
Shifting sand dunes with my feet.
And it's really just my style casing memories for a smile.
So kiss me sweet and set me free.
