lyrics

Now I’m facing down another road
But I wanted to see you before I go
I wanted to tell you that I couldn’t wait
But I wanted to believe that it’s not too late
You see I know you darlin’ and I love you still
But I can’t live a lie and I can’t find the thrill
And I can’t quite see how it went so bad
‘Cos you’re still the best thing I ever had

You smiled and said nothin’ when I told you today
That I’m going away

I could smell mothballs on your summer dress
Clash with the whiskey stale on my breath
I thought I caught a tear as you turned away
Then you laughed and tossed your head that way
So I’m driving out west past the car sales yards
Where the heat melts your mind & the wind breaks your heart
Love is a journey with no destination
You best travel light and with no great expectation

You smiled and said nothin’…


Girl I know I ain’t perfect this is all I got
Ah you’re damned for who you are, damned for who you’re not
And I’m sorry yeah I’m sorry for my crazy days
But sometimes I got the devil to pay
And you said don’t baby me you son of a bitch
You know right from wrong but you don’t know which
You guys are all the fucking same
You sure ain’t able and you blame it on Cain

You smiled and said nothing… x 2
I’m facing down another road I wanted to see you before I go
