Blood in my eyes And blood on my jeans; Been around the world once And I don’t know a thing. The beauty in it all- It ain’t all it seems. So I drive all through the night With my lights on high beams. I hit the highway With no direction at all. The white lines all blur And I never got a call. Poison is my only peace And I need the release. Got a point in my pocket Burnin’ a hole right through me. Baby, I’m better As a bad memory. But remember, one thing I say When I say don’t be like me. I was born by myself And I’ll die just the same. So I’m sorry I cannot stay But I’m glad that I came all the same. All the same. Barely getting by Sever all my ties, And all your sweet loving lies; Those smooth alibis. How the hell am I gonna get out of this Alive? This time…. Crawling by…. With a love that could kill me Day after day, I still pray For thy opium fulfill me. Fix me up a shot May not be much but Now it’s all I’ve got. I found a love in a parking lot. I shot up- The only thing that never let me down. Fuck. I shot the horse An’ I Rode the white pony. Camped out in shady motels. Survived on camel lights and cold bologna. Slumped in the car in the parking lot Listening to Will Oldham, And thought of the bedlam And the innocence stripped up. Sometimes…. I come around this old town.. Have a few laughs Even though I’m feeling down. Believe me when I tell you It ain’t for everybody A hell of a time But this time….. The devil he’s got me. Barely getting by Sever all my ties, And all your sweet loving lies; those smooth alibis How the hell am I gonna get out of this alive? This time…. Crawling by…. With a love that could kill me Still day after day, I prey on the hope Thy opium fulfill me. Fix me up a shot May not be much but Now it’s all I’ve got. I found love in a parking lot. I shot up- The only thing that never let me down. Fuck.
