We were killing time by the rusted water tower, Tracing escape routes on a greasy diner map for hours, Your house was never a home, just a place you had to be. So you’d crash on my floor, safe from what I couldn’t see, And I thought I knew every shadow in your tired eyes, 'Til the day they went vacant, a chilling surprise. We were running from the cop car down that old county road Heart in our throats, carrying a heavy load Your daddy looked right through you like you were just a chair Mama left a twenty and a note saying "I don't care" And you’d shove me away, saying “Just leave me alone” But your knuckles were white, scared down to the bone. Well, Kacey never made it past the county line Swore she'd see the ocean, or at least a different sky Walked with her chin up, like she had nothing to lose Eyes locked on the pavement, wearing out her shoes Maybe she's still thinking 'bout how it all went wrong But time's run out, and the current's too strong Used to dream of leaving, now she just dreams of quiet A place to shut down the goddamn riot in her head That fire you had got buried in the doubt You learned to burn it with cheap vodka to snuff it out You'd light another smoke, ash falling on the floor Said, "Guess there's nothing here worth fighting for" Well, Kacey never made it past the county line Swore she'd see the ocean, or at least a different sky Walked with her chin up, like she had nothing to lose Eyes locked on the pavement, wearing out her shoes I saw you last week at the 24-hour gas station Your eyes were hollowed out, a vacant destination Don't know if you saw me, or just didn't want to see So I just turned around, and I let you be. Now Kacey's just a ghost song this town's forgot A frayed, lost polaroid, left out to rot. Mhhhh...mhhhh... Mhhhh... Mhhhh...mhhhh... Mhhhh...
