I've been clean since 1983
Don't recall the Steelers Dynasty
Thought a lot on what forgiveness means
Can't say I've figured out
I beat him bloody more than halfway dead
I was blackout blind from booze and meds
Now I stock the shelves at CVS
For the most part I sleep sound
Haven't picked a higher power yet
But I pray for his help twice a day
Wonder if just getting out of bed
Was all they meant by getting saved
By the razor blades I saw him there
Brother pushing him in his wheelchair
Thought to walk their way but wouldn't dare
Just ducked away before they'd see
Punch the clock but I'm not leaving here
Locked door blubbering in the bathroom mirror
Stomach twisting less like guilt than fear
There's no grace that's meant for me
There's no grace that's meant for me
I've been clean since 1983
That's three decades I'd no right to see
Thought a lot on what forgiveness means
I can't say I figrured out

New Year's Day

Caught a bus down to Nashville and bought some cowboy boots
I felt like a tourist but I feel that when I'm home too
There's a girl bathed in green neon light
She's got eyes like George Jones and she smiles just like Jesus Christ
As I walk up and ask her to bum me a smoke
Come on Selena baby let's go downtown
You live for the moment but the moment it won't stick around
Cup my hands around her cigarette
She told me love feels like dying and rising again
She sunk through the shadows and said I could follow her down
Townes Van Zandt died on a Tennessee New Year's Day
He knew that Hank Williams before him had gone out the same
So he unscrewed the cap from his flask
Dreaming about Colorado when his lungs collapsed
Thought maybe I'll get back the past life they took away
I woke up in the morning to find I was all alone
Naked as Adam nameless as a country road
I walked to the station a winter flood fell
When I was born that was me when I die I'll be somebody else
And I've got no other way to get back home
