Nashville - Old 97's

Well I married Caroline

Back in May of '99

It was fucked up at the time

But I figured we’d keep trying

Her brother and her dad

They were spittin' mad

When I packed up what I had

And took off runnin' it was bad

It was mean, I didn’t care

And it’s gotten me nowhere

So I’m trying to be a better man

I turned left turns into right

I turned sunshine into night

I got my ass kicked every fight

No, I couldn’t get it right

I built castles out of sand

I didn’t understand

Why everything I planned

Ran like whiskey off my hands

And my hands were never clean

Things I wish I’d never seen

I’d do anything to wake up

From this motherfuckin' dream

Who do I got to blow

To get into this fucking show

It’s dark in there I know

And I got nowhere else to go

Well I need a place to hide

So I put away my pride

And come inside

'Cause I’m tired of runnin'

And there’s a universe that’s floating out in space

And I look up there and I can’t find my face

And I’m seeing my reflection backstage

Writing down the same old words on the same old page

Who do I got to blow

To get into this fucking show?

It’s dark in there I know

And I got nowhere else to go

Well I need a place to hide

So I put away my pride

And come inside

'Cause I’m tired of runnin'

Who do I got to blow

To get into this fucking show?

It’s dark in there I know

And I got nowhere else to go

Well I need a place to hide

So I put away my pride

And come inside

'Cause I’m tired of runnin'

Come inside 'cause I’m tired of runnin'

Come inside 'cause I’m tired of runnin'
