lyrics

Engine sounds bleed into whistles
A holdover from cargo hold just hopping onto trains
Eight wheels times fifty cars times forever
A haunting smell of a burned out desert town for every mile
But in a town like this, you've got your thumb out for a lift.
You were always so goddamn predictable.

You could ride the rails so long
It’d take a crash to throw you off.
If only lives of crime had taught us
how to tread that line
Because I’m just amassing sins on ceremony now.

One last stop, in a monument to dirt.
I stumble in, bandaged and with whiskey stains on my shirt
and I look a mess and I'm pleading for a chance
but we were raised in ghost towns
so all you're looking for is smoke and dust.

I thought this’d be
The place that they would bury me.
And yet, like you’d expect
The bastards came and burned it down instead.
