560 Miles 03:28
560 miles to El Paso. I know there's nothing 'tween here and there. All my exiles happen in Texas. Makes San Antone feel like nowhere at all. Oh, Suzanna work it out. Oh, Suzanna play it off. Step to the plate and say that you were always wrong. Strike up the band and sing along. 560 miles to El Paso don't seem like far enough to go. Don't seem like far enough to get away from you. Man, this shit is getting old. Oh, Suzanna work it out. Oh, Suzanna play it off. Step to the plate and say that you were always wrong. Strike up the band and sing along. The moral of the story is you run for dear life. No matter how far it takes. And when the stakes are highest that's when you'll need the miles between you and the ball and chain. Oh, Suzanna work it out. Oh, Suzanna play it off. Step to the plate and say that you were always wrong. Strike up the band and sing along.

2000 miles and a couple jokes. Fighting off the urge for a pack of smokes. Watch as our lives tear at the seams. Everything here is falling apart. From the start of the end to the end of my heart. The ties that bind us are starting to sever. I don't think we can hold this together. I was lonesome and you were sad. Still I can't figure out how things got this bad. Sometimes life is just what it seems. Everything here is falling apart. From the start of the end to the end of my heart. The ties that bind us are starting to sever. I don't think we can hold this together. I been over it a million ways. There's not a chance that you're gonna take. Anyway, I know you're gonna stay and these lines between us are gonna break. 2000 miles and that other bloke. Still fighting off the urge for a pack of smokes. This life is not quite a dream. Everything here is falling apart. From the start of the end to the end of my heart. The ties that bind us are starting to sever. I don't think we can hold this together.

No one's wasted time like me waiting on other people's lives to turn. No one's wasted time like me. Light another match and watch it burn. Down to fingers cold, cracked, and withering The truth is I'm not listening Was it another life ago? Was it a time when we weren't so sad? Was it another life ago? I'm burning here. I'm burning down. Distracted and derailed, discard details you find in truth. The truth is it's all my fault I never wanted anything. I never wanted more. I found something to believe in when I fell down at your door. Everyone's a liar. Yeah, everyone i knew. Everyone but you. I am the fire. I am the fire burning out. I am the fire. I am the fire burning out. I am the fire. I am the fire burning out.

Turn Around 02:43
I try not to curse when I think about her, but what the fuck is a man when he's lost all he's worth. A shell of my father, filled up with fresh rage. What the fuck is it for anyway? What the fuck is it for anyway? I try not to curse when I think about fate, but what is this shit I am hearing you say? I've never cursed luck and I've never told lies except all that I said almost every night. If I open my mouth you oughtta cover your ears. And I try not to curse when I'm asked about faith. For some a four letter word predicated on hate. But if I go to hell, I guess I earned my way there. I'm too sore for praying so I'll hope for some grace. But if I go to heaven, I guess you'll all be there too. It'd boring as hell by myself. Yeah, if I go to heaven, I guess you'll all be there too. It'd boring as hell by myself. Turn around, now. Turn around.

Dry your eyes and lift your head. Drag your sad-sack out of bed. And when we hang-up remember what I said, "I'll love you no matter what". Don't hold your breath 'til your face turns blue. It's not the prettiest color on your. But know, no matter what you do I'll love you 'til the end of time. So, put a smile on your face and face the day with your gentle grace. But know, when I come back to this place my heart's been waiting for you. Leave it all out on the line. Tell me that you'll be just fine. No, I'm not wasting your precious time. I'll love you, no matter what. I love you, no matter what.

The lights aren't always bright out here, but you can see for miles. But I don't see Dallas in my future. I was always fair. I was more then fair enough. I held up my end of the deal. And if you go don't look back, 'cause I won't be there. It's always brightest after the rain. Sometimes I don't feel anything until I feel the pain. The strain of holding on is telling me you're already gone. Please go to Dallas on your own.
