lyrics

i've been staring at rooftops in a small town way out west
the smell of gasoline is making steam out of my breath
and my oil stained hands are weary and my fingernails are black
i've been crawling over wheat fields with winter on my back
and all my lyrics they seem baseless and my lover she's leaving tonight
she said i got to get more salvation in my life
and i told her the road looks long and the end ain't in my sight
well she mumbled something 'bout rooftops and i said call
(she said that she might)

and so i wandered the streets alone
wondering where all the pretty girls has gone
and i shook the locked doors of the public house
and i screamed your name out loud
and the crushing weight of the stars burning out
led me to the conclusion
that you were right, i'd just be looking out for myself
when i should've been coming home
