The Prettiest Mermaid of Lonely

4 am you're on the road alone
Radio plays a song from way back home
You find your cigarette from behind your ear
You take a drag and say this will be my year

On the 101 you weave back and forth
Chasing the sun to edge of the earth
The west it pulls you to the beach
You search through the sand but can't find your feet
The ocean rolls like a little kid
The bottle says take another sip
You throw your heart into the breeze
As the night crawls off on its hands and knees
And you can't think which feels so great
But you're still lost and it's too late
To look for dreams where there are none
So you just wait for death to come
And while you wait you see a girl
The prettiest thing in this whole world
Her voice just sings straight from the sea
She speaks real soft and tenderly
She tells a story you've never heard
She says
And you can't focus you can only look
You're so drunk you'd be a dead man's cook
So the lady left you with your last red
And you can't remember a thing she said
So you start to swim til you feel numb
You begin to drown and let death come
