lyrics

hold me down i'm no place i want to be
cigarettes don't know this place better than me
don't forget your grass stains on our calloused hands
or the burn in the streetlights i couldn't see
my bare feet are soaking up the kentucky blue earth
and the scripture don't know how to save me now
so lay me down easy on the ground in the backyard
is it spring yet is it sunday afternoon

slow me down the lines are blurring in the center
i've been driving all night and i won't forget this winter
my old-fashion mind's been dragging my body along
why you gotta turn up all cold and alone
these nights they've been killing me my fingers don't belong
a tortured soul's been singing all my songs
the asphalt dreams coming up on the early 90s they're breaking down
and i gotta get my mind, gotta get my mind all alone

grow your roots in the cracked pavement streets
country boys don't know how to quit now darling
and i ain't trying to tell you off about nothing
i ain't trying to loose the ground beneath my feet
so don't try to bring that sky down upon you
there's air enough down here to breath
what we really need is a little quiet corner in boston
where we can lay our heads down to sleep

hold me down
