Dusty veils lie on the floor’s new footsteps
Your daddy came and left, he bought you a safety gun
And when you won the rodeo, he bought you a safety pin
So you could hold it all in

The sun is wearing out your eyes, they look across the land
But they can’t tell sea from sand
Now who will hold your hand?
And who will rub your back?
Your chains run deep

But I been waiting for your word, been hoping that the earth
Won’t suddenly catch fire, we’ll call them on
The dirty liars
They can deal with us

The smoke will always clear, but the air will always taste like your cigarettes and place
Time’s got me by the neck, I’m standing by your stone, the words are meaningless, but
They go forever

Now I’m walking through the rooms where you used to stamp your feet, you used to call my shame
But you won’t go down in flames
It's a tuckered way to think, but you had your father’s eyes

But I been waiting for your word, been hoping that the earth won’t suddenly catch fire, we’ll call them on
The dirty liars
They can deal with us
