The Driving Blues
1993-01-13
gazing at freezing rocky mountain stars
listening to coyotes and
calling out the names of people i died for
pathetic but true
poetic too
so dark there's sparks coming off the flat pick
singing myself to sleep in the back seat
a lot of water gone under
you're on another planet by now
things could be worse
and they used to be
when i was a broken stepping stone
to your self-esteem
i should just be glad i got away
it's what i really wanted anyway
i called out, you proved untrue
now the happy couple dances on my grave
you know more than you understand
you could of changed my mind
i was always changing yours
in old notebooks - the river just before the rocks
in old pictures - the canoe just before the falls
coyote bites off his leg to get out of the trap
pathetic but true
poetic too
i know you're glad i got away
it's what you really wanted anyway
driving day and night
screaming at the radio
antique store heart - full of costly memories
a lot of water gone under...
gazing at freezing rocky mountain stars
singing myself to sleep in the car
now the bottle's empty
may i never be a wretch again
poetic but true
prophetic too
looks like despite myself i get away
it's what i really needed anyway
