lyrics

I would've ran all day if I really thought that you'd have stopped. Just a few more miles and maybe you'd turn right around. I guess you won't can I just get a ride back home? It's not that far, can I just get a ride back home? I'd quit you tonight, if I really thought I could. I'd quit you right this second, if I really thought I could. I guess I won't. Can I just get a ride back home? I came pretty goddamn far for you, can I get a ride back home?

I still got mountains left to move. I still got my own two hands. I still feel like a boy in the night. I still got these shakes and all the shame, but I wish that I loved anything the way you loved yourself.

I met a gypsy and a mother and a liar, along the way with stolen hearts from little lions. And all these wounds deep in my hands and on my neck, I kept them all closed up with ink and broken skin. I'll be in your rear view mirror all night if you keep hitting all those stop signs and red lights that slow you down so well. All these songs on the radio, those nights that it would rain, 6 months later, they'll damn near be the death of you.

I got nothing left for you, but this heart filled up with quit, a handful left of pride, a young man's grin and a crooked hat. I know that I won't love you like I did when I was young and I know if I don't care at all, I loved you all along.

It was just a cold sidewalk. It was just my troubled heart. Just another cold sidewalk and these old young men, we wish you well.
