Athens

running around in Ohio with familiar faces I used to know
trying to get high as the clouds
Midwest kids with Midwest charm jumping fences breaking arms
laughing like the good times will never stop
lovers come and lovers go I knew a few down the road
how they flicker in and out of my mind
take the right take the left take the path you love the best
blindfolded yeah ain’t that life
like a train I don’t know if I’m coming back this way
you think you know me well but everything fades
pickin’ pumpkins dancing in barns
feeling the sunlight on our arms
reading poetry in bed
I’ll tell you if you tell me
I got more secrets than a girl can keep
is it a good memory or just a kiss in the dark?
like a train I don’t know if I’m coming back this way
you think you know me well but everything fades
like a train I don’t know if I’m coming back this way
you think you know me well but everything fades
you think you know me well but everything fades
running around in Ohio, Athens County I hope you know
how you changed my soul and un-chained my heart
you made me crazy you made me sad
you’re the best damn friend a girl could have
with your ghost lit hills and untuned guitars
like a train I don’t know if I’m coming back this way
you think you know me well but everything fades
like a train I don’t know if I’m coming back this way
you think you know me well but everything fades
you think you know me well
but everything fades

down and drunk
that’s when you love me the most
wild like a child
dancing with no clothes
my heart breaks like the wings
of an albatross born to sing
oh ain’t it a shame
yeah ain’t it a shame
down and drunk
that’s when you love me the most
thin and pale
with a ribbon in my ponytail
I am hurt and I am broke
laughing and lighting a smoke
oh ain’t it a shame
yeah ain’t it shame
I guess you got what you wanted, I haven’t slept in days
been greeting the morning sunrise with tequila in my hand
and just like a Kansas tornado, destroying everything I see
beauty doesn’t mean anything to me
no beauty doesn’t mean anything to me
down and drunk
that’s when you love me the most
wild like a child
dancing with no clothes
my heart breaks like the wings
of an albatross born to sing
oh ain’t it shame
yeah ain’t it a shame
oh ain’t it shame
