Quit You

How far you gonna run
Two thousand miles New York or L.A.
It's not a love you gotta show
In fact I think its better that way
Then I could quit you
Yeah I could quit you
At the corner general store
I bought you Parliaments and cheap champagne
Sat and drank it by myself
While out side just rained your phone rang
You sounded like a man
When you finally called me back
At Marcy's funeral home
Wrapped you in flowers closed the eyes to your face
You wore that little bow
The one that always hung down by your face
I talked it out with your dad
He said keep the house that we had
But how can I quit you
When this home was built around you

Calalouia
03:19
|

I took the old 24
Headed west to suck on the tit of a Calalouia
In Calalouia
The people there they are warm
The weather there well its always warm
In Calalouia
I'll never tell you I love you baby
Its not within my means
If we can keep this thing rollin mama
See where it leads
Got this house from your dad
I took a match and I burnt it all down
I was never good at takin help
Still don't know what that means
I'll never tell you I love you baby
Its not within my means
If we can keep this thing rollin mama
See where it leads
Pack the car with my light
Well I might have sang that line once before
Hope for something a little different
Might even act on a movie set somewhere
I'll never tell you I love you baby
Its not within my means
If we can keep this thing rollin mama
See where it leads
In Calalouia

Jesus
Could I borrow five bucks
I'll pay ya back
But I just need a drink
Samson
Your eyes they gauged out
Feeling for strength
To knock them pillars down
I'm a cat takin a bath
I never get clean
Moses
Stuttering
Talk your people free
While they milk that golden cafe
It's the cow that births the cafe
Then everybody eats
Judas
Swinging in the breeze
How I miss your jokes
When will our good Lord bring you back
Mary
Unwed and starting to show
Sing a song of praise
Or you sing a son away
I'm a dog off chasing cars
You never get clean

Turtle Doves

Caroline was 17
Barely into make up
You had a 38 Chevy and a diamond ring draft bill in the glove box
You got down on one knee
You said its you and I and turtle doves that stay together
Your guts fell out inside the war
Killing all of your brothers
Leaving Caroline back home at shore
Looking up and down the coast for
Something to help hold it all together
Anything to hold herself together
So when are you coming home
Or will I have to hang a star in the window
A closet haunted with all of your cloths
That short life we had together
Work was hard to find
So you bit your cheek
took to moping floors up
Caroline she asked you not to drink
But you just couldn't keep your head up
The distance that you drank man it was overwhelming
So much so that you couldn't see it coming
And I don't think that your coming home
I can take the kids to my moms you know
War letters hidden in closets by cloths
And all the wasted life we had together
Caroline lied right out her mouth
Headed to Minnesota
She packed her bags the dogs and cats
She even took your sofa
Left a note saying only turtle doves stay together
It's only turtle doves that stay together
And she is never coming home
All alone and the kids they are grown
You're just a ghost that haunts a mans cloths
Holding on to that life you had together
Cause its only turtle doves that stay together
It's only turtle doves that stay together

King of Love

The furnace is broken
These sheets can not keep us warm
We were two youth touching like youth use to
Touching to keep ourselves warm
The police will start to uncover us
When the snow melts away
Spring it starts to bloom another beautiful summer
One where you're not around
Thats when I knew I would love you forever
Forever is just not right now
Your little white bow

Anything That Moves
03:27
|

This is how I'll spend my life alone
Looking for options
I couldn't find an option
You weren't suppose to go
Say you're jealous love
There's nothing to be jealous of
I guess I'll hitch to anything that moves
Anything that moves
This is where I spend my days at home
Still looking for options and not finding options
I think I will go, you jealous love
With nothing to be jealous of
I guess I'll stick with anything that
Anything that moves

I miss the way you fold your dollar bills
I miss the way you smoke yourself stupid and can’t think of words to say
Sam will have a party and she wants us both to come
Can I drag you out
I miss the way
It’s coffee after breakfast and not the other way around
I love the way your little white bow sits at the edge of your mouth
When you let your hair down
Sam will have a party and she wants us both to go
Can I drag you out
Four years in you say that my drinking becoming a problem
You miss the man that use to be around
Who am I now
You try to take care and give it your best
You were always second guessing and I guess I’m not what you want now
Change lot slot machines in Vegas somewhere with gamblinggambling
Sam will have a party and she wants us both to stay
I will stay if you stay
Maybe get you in the bathroom and kiss your mouth
Kill off this bottle and fumble around
When the party’s finally over we can find our own way home
Our way home alone

Cold Coke

Coat rack
Holds the sheets of winters skin
The storm is coming in
Sam Jones
Set the ink atop my bones
Saw you smile
Smiled back in my denial
Of a man
Who doesn’t feel much like a man
The ghost that haunts
Just fuels the flame that consumes you now
Summit beach
Dip your toes in and cool your teeth on a cold coke
Mamma bought till you were grown
Sit on the beach
Let the lights bounce off of the reef
Let let the swaying noise beneath
Each the memory that haunts you now
It consumes you now
It will consume you now

Columbus Day
Pink dress at the parade
Got my picture on a camel
You were puffing on a camel
That camels back
Columbus Day
Columbus Day
I’ll hold you up
I’ll hold you up
So you can see
So you can see
Columbus Day
Columbus Day
