wake up baby
rise and shine
say a prayer to the god of the megabus line
i'm headed your way at a steady pace
my heart's gonna break when i see your face
i miss you most of all in that day-to-night transition
i don't know why it is that it hurts me like it do
i'm coming home tonight and if it's not an imposition
come out with me and i'll share my secret heart with you
drink up darlin
don't you cry
i know you fear the speed that time is passing by
but here i am where i'll always be
you won't ever have to look too far for me
i'm headed your way at a steady pace
my heart's gonna break when i see your face
i miss you most of all in that day-to-night transition
i don't know why it is that it haunts me like it do
i'm coming home tonight and if it's not an imposition
come out with me and i'll share my secret heart with you
i thought that i had finished changing
and found a place that i could stay
i'm scared to death of how i'm growing
and i need my friend to help me on my way
i feel like the child i used to be
who suffered proudly filled with electricity
so i'm on my way i'm west virginia bound
and if you truly don't mind having me around
wake up baby
rise and shine
say a prayer to the god of the megabus line
i'm headed your way at a steady pace
my heart's gonna break when i see your face

i'm not working, i mean i'm working but i'm broke
and my heart's beating, but its been beaten up
i'm a football field from where i was last fall
on the bare inside of your berlin wall
and now i'm tempted to put a cigarette out
in the middle of your forehead to keep you warm for winter
i'm a little bit sore and my blood's running hot
please don't tell my mom that i got marlboros in my pocket
and i
i can tell it like a joke cause it is one
i can dig it like a rut cause i'm in one
florida, you got nothing for me
for three long months i thought you loved me
and for three months more you held my heart above me
looking back now it just don't seem real
the more i drink the worse i feel
and i
i can tell it like a joke cause it is one
i can dig it like a rut cause i'm in one
florida, you got nothing for me
i still feel it though it was a long long time ago
i still want it like the landscape wants the snow
to make it clean and numb

How Nice

leave the under-eye shadows so we can relate
don't wait, the haze overtakes you if you hesitate
will you ever be ready for your own advice
how nice how sweet to be incomplete next to you
i don't want to go back to the way that i was
who knew the harm love could do to some suckers like us
but i'm gonna be better just you wait and see
it's no mystery that i burned all the bridges
are you always proud of your hardest decisions
i won't be no dog with my teeth in the stitches
are you always proud of your hardest decisions
and how nice how sweet
to be incomplete
and how nice how sweet
to be incomplete

Long Distance Runner

coffee and cigarettes
in the lobby with your scratch tickets
playing for luck that you had with you to begin with
maybe you left her like your coat for the summer
setting your pace like a long distance runner
whiskey and witty remarks
both in your mouth as you make your mark on a new town
the past is like a puppy it follows you around
and maybe you left her like your boots by the door
you might have loved her but you just can't be sure
and the way that you laugh is all cheshire cats and ash
will she still be the same on the day that you ever come back
sweet as water from the tap
plain as the X on a map
you might have left her but she's doing her best
she wrote you a letter with no return address
it says i might have loved you but you just can't be sure
i wanted to tell you that i don't feel blue anymore

hello how are you
i've been missing you too
is there somewhere to swim out on rt. 92
where nobody cares what it is that we do
all i want is one night in the old moonlight
two tall milwaulkees and a few camel lights
an empty room to lay my head
in a double air bed
and i want john r. miller to roll me a cigarette
i'm lit up like a candle and tricky to handle
the light in your eyes drives me out of my mind
take me back to that midnight on 79
pulled the van off the road on the clay county line
just to piss in the dark
gonna leave us a mark
and the stars were all practiced and ready to shine
and please god can we hear john deere green one more time
