Southern Despair
They got you picking lies out of cocaine
Pluggin' up the holes in your brain
Wonderin' when it's all gon' change
Naming all the demons you've slain
Well, Lefty killed the law at the door
Hopin' that there wouldn't be no more
Too bad ten came to settle the score
He just didn't seem to care anymore
And it don't change these inward dreams
Southern despair, it blooms haggard schemes
'Cause when you're faced with that awful chore
Well, don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
Well, Noah cut steel for the town
It was just enough to keep it all down
The county ran it in the damn ground
Now he's gotta hold up stores, or he'll drown
Well, Barbara thought Ted would shoot straight
Chompin' right out of the Riverbend gate
But he was just there to take her faith
On the next bus with a kid on the way
And it don't change these inward dreams
Southern despair, it blooms haggard schemes
'Cause when you're faced with that awful chore
Well, don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
And don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
Pluggin' up the holes in your brain
Wonderin' when it's all gon' change
Naming all the demons you've slain
Well, Lefty killed the law at the door
Hopin' that there wouldn't be no more
Too bad ten came to settle the score
He just didn't seem to care anymore
And it don't change these inward dreams
Southern despair, it blooms haggard schemes
'Cause when you're faced with that awful chore
Well, don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
Well, Noah cut steel for the town
It was just enough to keep it all down
The county ran it in the damn ground
Now he's gotta hold up stores, or he'll drown
Well, Barbara thought Ted would shoot straight
Chompin' right out of the Riverbend gate
But he was just there to take her faith
On the next bus with a kid on the way
And it don't change these inward dreams
Southern despair, it blooms haggard schemes
'Cause when you're faced with that awful chore
Well, don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
And don't implore your darkest sore I been there before
