Standing with my feet deep in the ground
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind? Am I no one until someone calls me out? Are you just pretending when we talk? You should have seen me Keeping watch at dawn Picture now a car ride through the plains Where east meets west and only sky remain Were you faking death to only gain concern? The cut out lights and signals told us wrong You should have seen us Carefree behind the wheel Lover I am still here breaking chairs Will I ever be the hero in your song Or forever in your shadow so unseen? Trapped between the lines that you write down? You should have told me Broken jaw and all Crippled in your glory Restless till my death |

She walked in with sadness in her eyes
I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars "Well hello I'm dawn..." "Yes I've seen you around..." "I just live down from here..." She has a dad she doesn't know Who sends her letters with no return address... "I don't know his name..." "He don't know my face..." "I am better off this way..." On the weekends I drive her into town In a car that I borrowed from my mom She makes hotel beds Where the sidewalks end And I wait for her to come home... Please come home The one day she finally stops coming around My best friend said she probably moved out of town Not a letter was sent... Not a phone call was made And I hope she comes back here Someday |

He motioned to me from across the street
His arms waving madly "Come over to me" I saw the panic as he approached We both ran quickly to the house Where the windows were shot out He lay there bleeding on the floor My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord... Someone shot my boy" I held his hand till the ambulance came Then onto a stretcher they took him away I followed close from the car behind The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind November 9 Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs The damage now done He was seem by her lover the night before Swearing to kill him outside her door To her defense my brother walked out Raising his fist and screaming "Get out... It's me she's with now!" Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes I slipped into the nighttime and deep into dying Without even trying |

I would rather hide behind you or stand in your eclipse
The sun does not move e like it used to... Neither do you And Greenland I am with you... I was once unwanted. In the front seats all with strangers I too was Earth's ceiling I lost all feeling And now I'm in your shadow I am motionless I am black I'll be a crash landing who can change the landscape talking And when I begin to stutter the land will be shaking God will be clapping |

When I left you alone to fight your battles
Of long winters and motels what went through your mind? How is it that you made it? How is it that you noticed? It wasn't me who was looking at you Through foggy glass or windows... it was them. I was out in Coolidge with my head on a counter Drinking down my chance to ever return to anyone. No I wasn't faking it... the hurt I felt was real And all that was holy just slowly disappeared Or just appeared in parking lots of truck stops. The lights all blinking and now all I'm thinking is "How the hell did I get here?" Does your husband know that I call you sweetheart? Does he know that I call you at all? It's not like you are cheating we're only meeting In hotels and not your home. Would you change your last name to mine? I think your kids will mind. I was in the desert waving planes and burning phone books To a tune that was famous the year I was born. Do not leave me dancing alone. Pick up the phone and call me lover Say come and get me I am home... |

I drove from Montesano to Aberdeen.
From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach. A pocket full of wrong numbers. Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads? I see her from the window of my memory Standing like an angel down the hall. I'll call when I get home this evening. Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads? Some say she moved in with her lover. The man her mother could not stand. "Ma he only hits me when he's angry." Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads? Four miles from the highway they found her. Lying in the tall grass by the road. Murdered by the hands of her lover. Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhoads. Yesterday I went out to her grave site The same day that her lover stood his trial At her grave I stood there and remembered All my days with Shannon Rhodes. |

There goes your man
There goes your man He's walking by, and shaking like a leaf There goes your man Here comes your death Here comes your death Keeping our breath safely in the trees Here comes your death Come now, you widow Come now, you widow Com and rest, so quiet in the meadow Here comes your man |

I stood alone there in the driveway
Till I saw your headlights fade Disappear Burn out like stars A Chevrolet train that rolls in the night I must have had a hundred nightmares Of you falling asleep at the wheel I send my prayers Where are you now? I am still here and going nowhere Here is a photo of our first baby Here is a photo of our wedding day Nothing has changed My love still the same I am still here and here I remain When you come back we'll have a party We'll hang up the christmas lights You'll be my bride I'll be your groom I miss you so much please make it home soon Your mother said that you called this morning "Tell him I love him, but won't be returning" |

This gasoline makes on fine drink
All I need is trouble Flicker in the sunlight dawn They'll find my dead body cold I used to wither just like winter And now all I am is useless So now is the time To say all I wished I could have said But I can't get my tongue out And I can't get my sword to work I'll just talk loads of bullshit anyhow Your mother in torn garments Like Jesus Christ denied Blood in all her pockets And you inside her eyes Let's shut it down Let's kill the lights |

I quit my job
I moved away I kept in touch With all my old friends From time to time I hear about you Are you still married? Are you still happy? How about your sister Is she still running? I ran into her Last year in Denton She spoke so quiet Like I remember I asked about you She gave no answer I'd always planned To come back for you But we both know how You'd never leave |
