lyrics

I woke my head up, moaning on the motel floor
Got that old maid knocking. Hoping she won't know no more
And I'm feeling kinda low.
Gonna load that van up and run it off the old tired road.
Gonna throw my hands up, 'cuz I ain't at the wheel no more.
And I'm feeling...
Like the head is the tail is the head is the tail
I'm choking on my own smoke trail.
Better run, Bette run, but your good as done.
Your fate be and Iron Rail, my fate be an Iron Rail.

So it goes, so it goes, and it just keeps goin',
Shoveling the rich black coal,
The brakeman must have missed that whistle blowing
Your screaming as your own back bows
No I'm feeling at the end of my rope.
Tick tack toe at a window seat
Strummin' on the ol' banjo.
A couch that folds is a reason to cheat.
A reason only no one knows.

CHORUS

I got that notion to jump out the skin I've worn,
and set fire to that ocean, and walk in through my own back door.

His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
