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 tryin'
her brother and her dad they were spitting 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 hand
and my hands were never clean things I wished I'd never seen
I'd do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin' dream

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show
it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go
but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride
and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running

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 seein' my reflection backstage
writin' down the same old words on the same old page

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show
it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go
but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride
and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show
it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go
but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride
and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running
come inside 'cause I'm tired of running
come inside 'cause I'm tired of running
