High as a Pine

Tell me that you love me baby
Tell them you'd have taken my name
We should be living behind a white picket fence and
Tell the whole world I'm to blame

I've been trying to do right since the love left
Every cloud's lined with silver I'm sold
But the skies are a swirling
Like the cocaine and bourbon
All mixed with the lies that you told

And I'm high as the pines on a ridgeline in Georgia
I'm writing the words to a song you won't hear
I'm damned if I do like a dam to the water
When you want to run and I'm holding you
Here

The door slammed metal on metal
I saw nothing but dust through the screen
You're moving fast through the vast rolling pastures
All cast in those deep shades of green

There's a party for one in what used to be home
Double drink in a single wide view
Tonight I'll be spinning
That Good Hearted Woman
And nothing reminds me of you

I'm high as the pines on a ridgeline in Georgia
Writing the words to a song you won't hear
I'm damned if I do like a dam to the water
When you want to run and I'm holding you here

The sun will break in like needles on skin
And the darkness outshined by the light
In the morning I'll grieve
At the thought of you leaving
But I won't feel a damn thing tonight

I'm high as the pines on a ridgeline in Georgia
Writing the words to a song you won't hear
I'm dammed if I do like a dam to the water
When you want to run and I'm holding you here
When you want to run and I'm holding you here
