Cut out my heart with no Novocain There's nothin' to numb the pain and everything hurts, yeah Who knew that Hell could be Heaven-sent? I guess that's what happens when a blessing gets cursed Now she turned her Silverado to a getaway Just another wild horse that got out the gate Now we're tail lights, burnin' down the interstate And I really wanna chase her, I ain't thinkin' straight Thinkin' straight, either way She was gone by the sunrise Started rainin' in the summertime (summertime) Pickin' pieces of my heart up off the floor, whoa, whoa Girl, I wish I had a warnin' shot of that 90-proof Little liquor in my blood when you told me we're through, yeah Hold the rocks on the 42 Need a bottle in my hand just to handle the truth, yeah Gotta do what you gotta do But girl, I ain't bulletproof, bulletproof So let me get a warning shot or maybe two And then maybe I'll remember to forget about you, yeah Roll tide, girl, always out of time, girl She in church on Sunday, but it's Friday all the time, girl Blindsided, didn't read the fine print Swervin' 'cross the county lines Now she turned her Silverado to a getaway Just another wild horse that got out the gate Now we're tail lights, burnin' down the interstate And I really wanna chase her, I ain't thinkin' straight Thinkin' straight, either way She was gone by the sunrise Started rainin' in the summertime (summertime) Pickin' pieces of my heart up off the floor, whoa, whoa Girl, I wish I had a warnin' shot of that 90-proof Little liquor in my blood when you told me we're through, yeah Hold the rocks on the 42 Need a bottle in my hand just to handle the truth, yeah Gotta do what you gotta do But girl, I ain't bulletproof, bulletproof So let me get a warning shot or maybe two And then maybe I'll remember to forget about you, yeah

River run And brother row And the ease between us, The calm below The rings, these twisted things cast off in the arms of those long low aways The lights, the river's striped, and will we not belong to those long low and lazy Surround us Oh, drown us A wailing whine, a Wendigo A waltzing night, oh bending road Me, I couldn't sleep, caught in some long that would seem to all but all the song But here, we river swim to wash away the light that seems to all but all be found Surround me Oh, drown me

O Philomena You in a tawdry gown Lean to your window Let slip a ribbon down A cure to your boredom If only you'd let me go down Down down Long summer days Can lead to lazy vices Boys all at idle Left to their own devices Open up your linen lap And let me go down Down down All that I wanted in the world Was just to live to see a naked girl But I found I quickly bored I wanted more I wanted more So I'll be your candle I'll be your statuette. I'll be your lashing Loop of leatherette O Philomena if only You'd let me go down. Down down All that I wanted in the world Was just to live to see a naked girl But I found I quickly bored I wanted more Oh so much more So I'll be your candle I'll be your statuette. I'll be your lashing Loop of leatherette O Philomena if only You'd let me go down. Down down Go down down down Go down Go down

So we already wrecked the rental car And I've already lost my way But feet entombed in this tourist bar For today, anyway So lay me down on the cobblestone And unfurl this aching [?] The streets are built on ancient bones And the crib of the rest Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't the mistral Blow away? Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't it blow, won't it blow, won't it blow So it's me and you and the baby boy And a ford to share the weight Breaking out a little joy Blown aways, back to space Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't the mistral Blow away? Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't it blow, won't it blow, won't it blow Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't the mistral Blow away? Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't it blow, won't it blow, won't it blow Won't the mistral Blow it all away? Won't the mistral Blow away?
