Skiptracer - Okkervil River

Skiptracer, find for me my friend

Who skipped out on a groove down an old lost trail

Old friends, don’t fall, never fail

People fighting for something are beautiful

You’re long, long reaching out is meaningful

Whatever you want I will give it to you

People fighting for something are beautiful

You’re long, long reaching out is meaningful

Whatever you want I will give it to you

I wanna go back

But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that

I wanna go back

But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that

So good luck, babe

Once, I rose above the noise and confusion

(And getting kicked around)

Once, I rose above the noise and confusion

(And getting kicked around)

I had started pretty good

I was feeling my way through it

Had the wheels in motion

I had started pretty good

I was feeling my way through it

Had the wheels in motion

Taxis in the gray

Whiskey sweating down our knees

Taxis in the gray gray

Sweating down our knees

Wanna go back

I wanna go back

But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that

I wanna go back

But time makes me know that it’s a waste to want something like that

So good luck, babe

I said I got an old picture of you from there

Coasting through the tall stalks (Can't go back)

I wanna go back
