Pillar

Baby don't know it
I've broken her heart
All her rings
All her things
Her ugly yellow car

I've got hours
Before she wakes to what I am
She slumbers in my love
It's 4:18 am

We met in a rainstorm
She showed me home
Took me in and loved me right
Like mercy from a poem

I'm no stranger to that demon shame
A week of heavy drinking I'll forget this woman's name

I am a highway man with my conscience on my mind
I need a place to crash to beat this fucker blind
It's comfort when everything's my fault
It's all my fault
Don't look back
Don't look back lest you turn into a pillar of salt

Don't look back on the fires once you've fled
Don't look back on a life you might have led
Don't look back into the cruel face of regret
There's time enough for cryin' but it ain't come yet

Don't look back the hound has got your smell
Don't look back you're just a traffic light from hell
Keep it movin' baby
Eyes on the prize
You can change the road you're on if you can drive all night

I'm goin' to Montana
Cause I've got nowhere else to go
