lyrics

You been down to the Tressel lately?
The spot where we dropped Lavene?
Cattail snow and burning tires. Your long hair smelled like weed.
Bill board that was falling down
You said the cowboy could be me
We must have lost a hundred
hooks Casts lost in the lynching tree
How bout we siphon all the gas out
Of that back hoe
Paint our names in fire on the street
You ever close your eyes. And just pretend
Whoever you’re with is me?

The trunk latch that we jimmied That uptown lawyers car
We cut through into the backseat Drank dry his built in bar
You bit my mouth. Took off your dress You’ve got cat’s eyes in the dark
I’ve never been near so happy never gone near that far

You’d see right through me now I’m empty
Way older than either of us are
Knowing it was my fault All my fault
Knowing wrecked my heart

Course I could of joined the army. I’d be as clean as all of them
Or gone to work for my old man You know what I thought of him
No I had to be an idiot And get it all at once for free.
You ever close your eyes And just pretend
Whoever you’re with is me?
Why not siphon all the gas out of that back hoe
Paint our names in fire on the street
Ever close your eyes
And just pretend
