lyrics

(dead air)

Radio broke outside Amarillo in a storm
I meant to fix it, I priced it, forty dollars, easy
Three years later it is the most valuable thing I own
(thing I own)
Forty dollars would have cost me everything I've thought since

People play music to stop thinking (stop thinking)
I stopped playing music to start

DEAD AIR
(air, air, air)
The most honest station in the country
DEAD AIR
Nothing but the engine and the verdict

Passenger side has a dent from a night I don't discuss
There's a version of this song that explains it
That version is not going to get written, ever
(get written, ever)
Some things you drive with instead of about

Forty dollars.
Three years.
Cheapest therapy in Texas.
(cowbell alone, then DROP)

DEAD AIR
(air, air, air)
The most honest station in the country
DEAD AIR
Nothing but the engine and the verdict

(dead air)
