lyrics

I know you ain’t satisfied
It’s why you can’t sleep at night
Cos when the light fills the sky
It drains the life out of you
So you sleep all day and rise with the moon

I can’t tell you nothing you don’t already know
Just promise to go easy on yourself
But I know you won’t
Cos you can’t escape this place and time
You just wait for something good to come along

Remember when we drank our way
From Memphis down to New Orleans?
Got kicked out of every honky tonk in between
We left some jealous husbands in the dust
Lord it’s true
We watched some tearful women
Fade away in our rearview

Let’s rewind to a time
When the red wine flowed
Rolled out to Tennessee
Never planned on going home

You married Mindy
& moved up to Lexington
I didn’t have it in me
So I went back to where I’m from
I picked up some bad habits
I grew ugly and numb
My heart was as dark as the nights were long
My eyes were as grey as the skies in Portland, Oregon

I tried to drink away my sorrows
But my sorrows learned to swim
Are you nursing your pain
Or are you feeding it?
Well I’ve got no one to blame
Only faces to forget
I put myself through hell
Came crawling back again

I met a good woman and you got divorced
You came back, guess it’s par for the course
I’m telling you things that you don’t want to hear
Outside it’s raining in reverse like the bubbles in this beer

All the things we cannot change
So we learn from the pain
And there’s no going back
As we break from the traps
We’ve clung to since we were young
