lyrics

headlights on the left side
there’s a ditch on the right
you’d better find somewhere
you can stop for the night

you showed up with a five pack
the way that you do
road beers have a habit
of following you

she was there at the window
prepared for a fight
her eyes like a tractor beam
had you locked in its sights

my angel
my baby
she left me
i’m crazy

i fell down
so thirsty
to the bottom again

said i ain’t no supergirl
i can bleed too
your words feel like bee stings
when i’m talking to you

said i’ll give you an option
you just have to choose
between me and my heart beat
or the pull of the booze

nothing but big rigs
on i-95
there’s a rest stop in kittery
might keep you alive

but what good is living
if theres no one to tell
how the hole that you fell down
is as deep as a well
