[00:02.89]
[00:11.22] Here we sit
[00:12.55]
[00:14.23] Across the table from each other
[00:16.87]
[00:18.44] A thousand miles from both our mothers
[00:21.46] Barely old enough to rust
[00:23.27]
[00:24.04] Here we sit
[00:25.42]
[00:27.16] Pretending both our hearts are anchors
[00:29.86]
[00:31.23] Taking candy from these strangers
[00:34.31] Amidst the diesel and the dust
[00:36.82]
[00:38.70] And here we sit
[00:40.33]
[00:41.59] Singing words nobody taught us
[00:43.65] Drinking fire and spitting sawdust
[00:48.86] Trying to teach ourselves to breathe
[00:51.68] We haven't yet
[00:52.81]
[00:54.51] But every chorus brings us closer
[00:56.83]
[00:58.95] Every flyer and every poster
[01:01.86] Gives a piece of what we need
[01:04.60]
[01:06.18] And the sand that they call cocaine cost
[01:08.88] You twice as much as gold
[01:11.12]
[01:12.14] You'd be better off to drink your coffee black
[01:16.08]
[01:18.36] But I swear the land it listened to
[01:20.75] The stories that we told
[01:22.61]
[01:23.66] God bless the busted boat that brings us back
[01:31.89]
[01:44.24] Morning's rough
[01:45.24]
[01:46.13] It don't give a damn about the mission
[01:48.56] Has no aesthetic or tradition
[01:53.77] Only lessons never learned
[01:55.16] And I'd had enough
[01:57.97]
[01:59.36] About a month ago tomorrow
[02:01.69]
[02:03.74] Parting holds no trace of sorrow
[02:06.63] For the bitter and the burned
[02:08.76]
[02:10.96] And the piss they call tequila
[02:13.60] Even Waylon wouldn't drink
[02:15.54]
[02:16.86] Well I'd rather sip this Listerine I packed
[02:20.62]
[02:22.32] But I swear we've never seen
[02:25.13] A better place to sit and think
[02:27.58]
[02:28.14] God bless the busted ship that brings us back
[02:32.36]
[03:03.21] And the sand that they call cocaine cost
[03:06.04] You twice as much as gold
[03:09.86] You'd be better off to drink your coffee black
[03:15.16] But I swear the land it listened to
[03:17.48] The stories that we told
[03:19.36]
[03:23.62] God bless the busted boat that brings us back
[03:27.02] GOD bless the busted boat that brings us back
