lyrics

Her words hung there like a riddle in the air
When they ricocheted off my vacant stare
My thoughts churned up like a gravel road
That ain't seen tires in a years or so
She left like ripples on a pond in the sky
Given by the kiss of a dragonfly

Saint Luke is gonna give one last chance
And I'll try to bargain with him best I can
When I'm left behind and the bridge gets torched
I pull the chairs off the front porch
When summer is gone like the locust's song
I'm a-go runnin' all winter long

'Cuz the nights get strange and I sleep day
Behind heavy doors and window panes
Cabin fever gets me all cooped up
Then I'm pouring liquor in my coffee cup
I've got more reason to go then I've got to stay
I should've left years ago anyway
I should've left years ago...
