With Bayou City at our heals And lightning sound behind the wheel By the time we get to Lafayette Aphrodite will place the bet Two lanes fall into the sun What's lost is lost What's won is won And when this day is done We're just Gulf Coast gypsies on the run Baton Rouge to New Orleans Tumbling dice and evergreen Making our way from town to town One of these days we might settle down Yeah, one of these days we might settle down Two strings set to come unwind What's lost is lost What's found is found And when this day is done We're just Gulf Coast gypsies on the run Gulf Coast gypsies on the run We're just Gulf Coast gypsies on the run What's lost is lost What's won is won Gulf Coast gypsies on the run Gulf Coast gypsies on the run We're just Gulf Coast gypsies on the run What's lost is lost What's won is won Gulf Coast gypsies on the run Gulf Coast gypsies on the run

Gulf coast highway, he worked the rails He worked the rice fields with their cold, dark wells He worked the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico The only thing we've ever owned is this old house here by the road And when he dies he says he'll catch some blackbird's wing And we'll fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring She walked through springtime when I was home The days were sweet, our nights were warm The seasons changed, the jobs would come The flowers fade, and this old house felt so alone When the work took me away And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing And she will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring Highway 90, the jobs are gone We tend our garden, we set the sun This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow And once a year they come and go At this old house here by the road And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing And we will fly away to heaven Come some sweet blue bonnet spring Yes when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing And we will fly away together Come some sweet blue bonnet spring

The meaning of things Stolen from me lately What is this? A Thursday How is this my life? This future rings So unfamiliar Shook-up hibernation What's the destination on this line? And the one say where's my numbers? Do you think they know they've gone and cut it far Too thinly? Bad faith chewing up good people The shameful business that we somehow still allow Bad faith dividing us against each other, sisters and brothers Bullshit supply'll get ya, bullshit demand Bad faith chewing up good people now's the time to put it right because we'll never get the chance again The meat and the greens By any means needed What is this? A Person What is that? A Life And the one say where's my numbers? Do you think they know they've gone and cut it far Too thinly? Bad faith chewing up good people The shameful business that we somehow still allow Bad faith dividing us against each other, sisters and brothers Bullshit supply will get you, bullshit demand Bad faith chewing up good people now's the time to put it right 'cause we won't ever get the chance again Bad faith chewing up good people The shameful business that we somehow still allow Bad faith dividing us against each other, sisters and brothers Bullshit supply'll will get ya, bullshit demand Bad faith chewing up good people now's the time to put it right 'cuz we won't ever get the chance again

Day to day, it won't leave Every time I try to speak It consumes my mind, it consumes my soul It wants my life, it wants complete control Somebody help me before it's bad Somebody help me before I end up dead I feel alone all of the time It's still quiet, lurking inside I'm a walking contradiction Everything I say is an affliction to him Somebody help me before it's bad Somebody help me before I end up dead

I hate that I'm writing this But you've fallen once again You never picked yourself back up And now look you have become stuck I can't reach for you anymore Something come knocking at my door We will try and try again To keep you 'round here my friend Only God can help me now I just hope you see these frowns I was here for you before But you've made my heart so sore But who knows you just might change Until then it's not the same And I hope the best for you I really hope the best for you Ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ah ah Ah ah ah aha Aa ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ah ah Ah ah ah aha Ah ha ha Ha ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha ha ah ah Ah ah ah aha

I pray to God To stop these thoughts It works for me Can't you see? Now I know that I'm better I'm writing this letter To my past self Sitting on the shelf Nothing lasts It's for the past I won't stay here I won't stay there 'Cause now I'm happy For you have changed me I am so thankful No longer painful

We all want someone We all want something We want everything Can't have anything now I don't have someone I don't have something I have stopped trying Got sick of crying now Ah-la-la-la Ah-la-la-la I can't stop shaking My body's aching These thoughts in my head Haunt me 'til I'm dead now I keep on praying God, come and save me It's just in your head It's just in my head now Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah Ah, ah
