lyrics

My shirt still smells like beer and rain

Boot heel cracked on Rainey Lane

I left at one with my head in a spin

Took Congress back with the taste of gin

My knuckles bled on a truck-stop sink

I stared at the mirror, didn’t dare to blink

A black sedan hissed by on the curb

I kept my mouth shut, swallowed every word

Now the moon sat low on the Travis line

My hands on my pockets, my breath on time

I counted the cracks in the sidewalk seam

Trying to drag myself back home from the dream

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home

The taco stand closed, the chair still up

A paper cup rolled past the busted bus stop

My phone showed two missed calls at three

I let that screen glow dead in my palm for me

At the 7-Eleven, I bought some water cold

Paid in nickels and a dollar fold

I heard my boots on the gravel road

Each step hit hard with the weight I hold

Now the moon sat low on the Travis line

My hands on my pockets, my breath on time

I counted the cracks in the sidewalk seam

Trying to drag myself back home from the dream

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home

By the laundromat, the windows steamed

A busted umbrella leaned by the machine

I said, "Boy, you made a mess of this"

Then I laughed once, just to swallow the hiss

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home

Walk me home
