lyrics

Two weeks in the hills
ass kickers and pills and nothing to do except drink
I climbed up the family tree and saw where i was conceived
search those bags and die in the keys

there's a slow fellow with two shaky hands
I wanna be closer to you than myself
it's a slippery slope built on brittle hopes
and a destination that's somewhat unknown
like living with no direction and painting your walls with the past
abandoned by our own bloodlines and living without your eyes

Black pies and white bars and southern hospitality
grey skies and white lies and mountains between you and me
bad luck a soft touch, a glimpse of mortality
and our heroes are old now and some of them are dead
how long should you live before you live for yourself?
there's an old fire burnin' right between your thighs
the most beautiful bird is still learning to fly
like windchimes in a tornado or gunshots in the night
the cancer in our bloodlines let's you know that something aint right
