Snow Still Falls

[Intro — flute alone, no drums] Two-thirty Snow on the pumps Yeah (go) [Verse 1] Gas station, two-thirty, the light doing that flicker Cousin in the passenger, quiet, that's worse than the bickering He ain't say nothing since the phone rang And I ain't ask, 'cause I already know the whole thang Snow coming down like it got somewhere to be Nozzle clicked full and I just stood there, deep freeze Everybody in my blood move first and ask later That's my daddy, that's his daddy, whole line got the same paper Cracked screen lighting up my whole face Twelve missed, one address, no wait And I felt it in my hands before I read it Body already voted, mind ain't been invited That's the sickness Same gift, same sentence (same sentence) [Hook] Bl-blink and I'm gone (gone) Bo-body move before the thought (thought) Hand to the ground, that's the pu-pulse (pulse) Fl-flute in the dark like a ghost (ghost) I don't decide, I just go (go) Two-thirty, snow, the road (road) Same im-impulse took my uncle, whoa Same one got me home (got me home) [Beat Flip 1 — drums drop, flute and finger snaps only] He said "you coming?" Hand on the door Snow still falling (still falling) [Beat Flip 2 — double time, detuned bells, hats double] [Verse 2] And I sat back down Swear I ain't do it, my hands did Foot found the gas like it knew where the plan is Cousin screaming at the window getting smaller Two-forty in the morning, phone ringing, I ain't call back, nah Nine hundred miles on a half tank and a maybe Nebraska at sunrise looking like it ain't never seen nobody Field after field after nothing, no exit Wrist on the wheel, checked my own pulse, still with it (still) Called mama from a Casey's off the highway She ain't say hello, she said "where you at?" I said "away" She said "good" Then she hung up (she hung up) [Bridge — half time, flute up front, one 808 per bar] Same wire, other direction Same fire, better exit They gon' say I got lucky Nah — I got a body that runs And that night it ran the right way, one time One time (one time) [Hook — full] Bl-blink and I'm gone (gone) Bo-body move before the thought (thought) Hand to the ground, that's the pu-pulse (pulse) Fl-flute in the dark like a ghost (ghost) I don't decide, I just go (go) Two-thirty, snow, the road (road) Same im-impulse took my uncle, whoa Same one got me home (got me home) [Outro — flute alone, fade] Cousin still calls I still don't Snow still falls [Intro — flute alone, no drums] Two-t
