lyrics
This town could use some rain to keep the dust down
I could stand a thunder cloud to roll through here
And wash away some memories
There’s not a story in this place I haven’t heard before
And I’ve been holed up for a month or more
Just waiting for my wounds to heal
Since I got caught beneath your wheels
This town could use a little less of me
I could surely use a drink to get you off my mind
I’m usually better after I’ve had two or three
By the time it’s time for closing time
I’m usually doing fine
And the days blow through here like tumbleweeds
And weeks go by like semis tearing up these empty streets
You could spend a year just staring down into your beer
You could spend a lifetime just standing on your feet
Just a tank of gas is all I need to set me free
And I’ll forget about you and me before the county line
Well I know you know you never meant that much to me
But I don’t think I’ve got the strength
To turn it back this time
And the days blow through here like tumbleweeds
And weeks go by like semis tearing up these empty streets
You could spend a year just staring down into your beer
You could spend a lifetime just standing on your feet
Just standing on your feet
Just standing on your
I could stand a thunder cloud to roll through here
And wash away some memories
There’s not a story in this place I haven’t heard before
And I’ve been holed up for a month or more
Just waiting for my wounds to heal
Since I got caught beneath your wheels
This town could use a little less of me
I could surely use a drink to get you off my mind
I’m usually better after I’ve had two or three
By the time it’s time for closing time
I’m usually doing fine
And the days blow through here like tumbleweeds
And weeks go by like semis tearing up these empty streets
You could spend a year just staring down into your beer
You could spend a lifetime just standing on your feet
Just a tank of gas is all I need to set me free
And I’ll forget about you and me before the county line
Well I know you know you never meant that much to me
But I don’t think I’ve got the strength
To turn it back this time
And the days blow through here like tumbleweeds
And weeks go by like semis tearing up these empty streets
You could spend a year just staring down into your beer
You could spend a lifetime just standing on your feet
Just standing on your feet
Just standing on your
