She's been crying again
One touch away and she's round the bend
No matter what I say
She'll run home and she'll love him again
In the corner of the place
She's looking drowned in love and filling up on grace
And all she wants from me tonight is a friendly hand
Now we're kids in heat
We all going drinking down Lincoln Street
And we stay around to beg
When the trail gets cold, Lord it gets cold
Last round and drinks are free
All the peaches rotten at the bottom of the tree
It can drive you crazy
And never bring you back
I'm wishing once on whiskey
Twice on a broken spell
I don't trust my wounded heart
To keep me out of hell
I'm not dead but I ain't living
You can find me in between
By the light that shines on Carroll and Justine
Well I woke up in hell
It might have been Memphis, for all I could tell
They let me come in out of the rain
Where it was warm and they didn't ever close
I'm not much for looking at
Five-foot-nine in a tall black hat
But when the light goes out
I don't look too bad at all
I'm wishing once on whiskey
Twice on a broken spell
I don't trust my wounded heart
That's how I got to hell
I'm not dead but I ain't living
You can find me in between
By the light that shines on Carroll and Justine
There are lots of talented, exuberant bands out there, but very few with the power to produce pure joy with their music. For example, The Oh Hellos. Don't miss this, that's all. Polecat Rodeo
The Canoes are back and better than ever with their wry songs of Midwestern adolescent woe. Sharper, clearer, more bitterly hilarious than Roger, and that's saying a lot. Polecat Rodeo
