lyrics

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
