lyrics

Car’s running
Waiting for us in the road
We need to leave before the sunrise
Sweep the floors
Take the photos off the walls
Lock the front door behind us
I’ll never miss the poison air in this part of town
I won’t miss the sirens
Each angry word I spit out to you last night
I’ll take it all back this morning

Now home’s in the tail lights
We’ll open our god damn eyes
This war that I’m waging
A race to the state line

And if you were my woman, I’d carry a gun

First thing you said, “don’t let me die in Maryland”
Don’t believe what they’re saying
America they see in a Time-Life Magazine
And if it’s for sale then they’re buying
Don’t let them bury me I won’t let them bury you
Lock homes
Lock eyes
Hey, Columbus. We’re treading the same shores as you
Turn back or move on
