about

feat. Ahren Buchheister on pedal steel

lyrics

They held a sign above that said
"Don't trust them switchblade girls
that role from the turnpike before your bed
and can't wait to breath in the dirt."
I looked before and grabbed your sweat from your eye
and gave you a crooked roman kiss.
We can stand immortal in the west and the heat,
but I'll still see you pass along.

Oh for me I tried
Oh for me I tried
Oh for me I tried hard to say
"That I've been to that motel
and I'll find you on the radio tonight."

Passing sea print girls that rise in the mist,
with their summer time clothes shinning so pale.
I remember being pinned in the alley of your fridge and stove,
and you begged me "Baby, please don't go."
You ran for minute, we learned to dance for so brief,
but it was the best I could do.
Our speeds were busted so far from the inside,
I may be wrong but I'm still alive.

And thinking that you were possible,
And guessing was this my only turn?
I've never seen that car in your spotlight sighs
while the yellow sparks melt from your dress.

Oh for me, I tried.
Oh for me, I tried.
Oh for me, I tried
Hard to say
"That I've been to that motel
and I'll find you on the radio tonight."
