Nicotine

We were eighteen
Just out of school
You were looking for some nicotine
I was getting fuel
We were eighteen
You picked me up
You were so nervous you backed up right into a ditch
yea we were stuck
I just thought ten years would be long enough
but now I’m right back where you left me
left me, again
oh i’m right back where you left me
Aiden
we were eighteen
laying on bench seats
under a copper sky of copenhagen lids
i was happy
wrote our initials on the windows we fogged up
now im driving all night across indiana
dragging my stuff and what would fit in a trailer
speedling like a sprinter at the gun
i just thought ten years would be long enough

Ease My Mind

It was there with my father in the first grade
It was there when his mother took her first drink
It was there in the nursing home her last days
I was wearing my Sunday school shoes
Out in Centralia the coal mines were burning
A little girl was playing out in the yard
When underneath her a sinkhole it opened
I almost fell all the way down
I took a midnight flight to Paris
I met a man and I let him have it
I drowned myself in coffee and in wine
I gave away all my belongings
Read my Bronte and Austen
I picked up my guitar every night
But can’t nothing ease my mind
Before she died she left me a present
An antique watch, a sun and a moon on the face
I was too young I was scared I would break it
But I loved to hear it tick

The rover banjo can’t come with me
I’m going soon and I’m traveling light
The doc martens are going on eBay
They never even fit me right
I’m not bringing anything
That i can stand to leave behind
The turquoise my father gave me
is getting pawned tomorrow night
But I’m not selling the telecaster
Whatever happens next don’t matter
i’m not selling the telecaster
Whatever comes to pass don't matter
what the winter brings
I’ll make it back in spring
I’ve been doing some thinking lately
And the words that are stuck in my mind
Is all you need to make yourself happy
Has been inside you the whole time
I don’t know but I’m starting over
I’ve got a place to stay for a while
Now I just need $300
to get across two thousand miles
The people who have never been away
they’re gonna talk
It’s getting harder every day to get by
just singing songs…

Two Horses

It’s hard to recognize a whole thing when you’re broken
Cause it makes you feel small
I wanted all my sorry pieces to be bigger
Than yours
But I took the rose colored glasses off
Your eyes are bluer than I ever thought
Oh god help me if I ever forget
You’re no one to fool around with
Have you ever seen two horses in tandem
On the run
You go and act like I deserve you, so I go and
Prove you wrong
