Roadside Blues

from Dead Magnolias by Hello Whirled

lyrics

hey!
down here!

I’m that guy on the roadside
looking at your shoes
your fancy little shoes
what’s a girl like you doing in this neck of the woods?
and I do mean that
I’m not trying to fuck you or anything
I just don’t think this is where you need or want to be right now

it’s barely civilization out here
just roads
and bums
and occasionally a train comes by
cargo, not people
I wait here every hour of every day
so I can jump when it comes by
but I’m always out by the time that happens
I’m so used to the noise that I just miss it

yeah I’m sure I’m someone’s son
but mama fell for the gun
I wish I had the strength she had
to just do it myself
but I’m a fucking coward
waiting by the tracks
counting the stars
on my broken back

the days never end
the nights never start

I’m glad we talked but you should go
it’s about to get messy
