When I remember to leave this town
Nothing to show but the sweat upon the brow
Giving in to those I'll leave behind
Comfort I can't hope to find

Stolen friends in a borrowed car
Haled in behind the soul's own bars
Forty dollars on a debit card
Won't get you very far

It ain't the melodies I'm singing
That linger in your eyes
Words written when I'm down and out
Can't seem to get me high

She ain't the only one who knows
Met me a scarecrow walking fallowed rows
Gin drunk and hollow eyed
Paled up by the Ghost inside

It ain't the melodies I'm singing
That linger in your eyes
Words written when I'm down and out
Can't seem to get us high
Honey babe, I know I've fallen
Although you can't seem to see
The ice growing 'round our windows
It's all 'cause of me
Feel the canyon wind scrape my bones
Kicks the colder nights and thoughts we'll leave alone
That old man he surely grins
Frozen down beneath my skin

It ain't the melodies I'm singing
That linger in your eyes
Words written when I'm down and out
Can't seem to get us high
Honey babe, the snow keeps falling
Although you weren't meant to see
The ice crawling 'round our windows
It's all 'cause of me
