lyrics

I woke up in ghost town
next to a woman with bullet holes in her night gown.

I couldn't find the horse I rode in on.
I couldn't find the boots I shine and spit on.

I woke up in a ghost town,
the sky all dressed in black.
I shook the sand from my sleeping bag.

Now I run like anyone's business.
I don't make alot of friends,
but I keep a good pace and distance.

Jump on every wagon of whispers and half truths.
I know that I'm going to find you.

And I know that I'm being followed,
I keep circling back.
I'm going to give myself a heart attack.

But I'll ask the questions,
long after I shoot.
No, I don't need directions...
to find my way back to you.

So I sit down at the new bar.
Familiar pain of the same drink like an old scar.

I try to strike up light conversation,
and not to lock eyes with the lady wearing white carnations.

I know the numbers don't add up.
Flakes of gold facades.
Don't you ever tell me the odds.

But I'll ask the questions,
long after I shoot.
No, I don't need directions...
to find my way back to you.
