lyrics

If I get a little money, I'll buy a house in Texas and burn it to the ground.
Watch the wind pick up the embers, and spread the goddamn ashes for miles and miles around.

She thinks the good lord can get me through this,
but the good lord ain't nowhere in sight.
She says the good lord can pull me through this,
but I ain't got the luxury of thinking she's right.
Least of all tonight.

Anytime I get some loving, I wake up in the morning and hitchhike out of town.
See, I ain't no good for you. It's something that I thought would be obvious by now.

She thinks that our love can get us through this,
but I'm too old to think that's true.
She says to me, 'baby please don't do this,'
I said it's all that I know how to do
is walk out on you.

Anytime I get some whiskey, I open up the bottle and drink until I drown.
Let them Texas ashes cover instinct for self-destruction
and fade without a sound.

I'll never make it out alive.
