Left This Town
I left this town
With the throttle open wide
The heater was blowing
But nothing inside
Could ember the darkness
Or swallow my pride
When I left this town
I was running
I left this town
With the milk and the fire
A rattling hollow
Itinerant choir
That cut me and called me
And held me entire
When I left this town
I was gunning
You couldn't understand
What I wanted
No one could hold my hand
And make it alright
Born into the land of the dead
I was haunted
But I could hear the ghosts
Singing on the other side
I left this town
With the blood and the wine
A rooster was crowing
My mama was crying
For everything born
There's another one dying
When I left this town
I was done in
You couldn't say my name
You didn't know it
You thought it was just a game
I was gambling my life
You said you felt the same
I said why don't you show it
And I left you standing in the dust
By the highway side
With the throttle open wide
The heater was blowing
But nothing inside
Could ember the darkness
Or swallow my pride
When I left this town
I was running
I left this town
With the milk and the fire
A rattling hollow
Itinerant choir
That cut me and called me
And held me entire
When I left this town
I was gunning
You couldn't understand
What I wanted
No one could hold my hand
And make it alright
Born into the land of the dead
I was haunted
But I could hear the ghosts
Singing on the other side
I left this town
With the blood and the wine
A rooster was crowing
My mama was crying
For everything born
There's another one dying
When I left this town
I was done in
You couldn't say my name
You didn't know it
You thought it was just a game
I was gambling my life
You said you felt the same
I said why don't you show it
And I left you standing in the dust
By the highway side
