Greenhorn Blues

lyrics

Hiding out, late at night, under pines by the hi-line side. They pass me by, can't find a ride. Don't know what I'm doing or why I try. No ccg to comfort me, just heavy burdens and a lack of sleep. Can't wait to leave but I go nowhere it seems like I'll never get out of here.

There's no rest for the wicked,
sleep outside, get evicted.
There's no hope, for the future,
might as well, give it up.

There's only one true way out of this cow shit smelling town, but when I feel like catching out. Something always keeps me around. Be it me or if its you, just the weather, or boys in blue, never seem to get a break, or an escape from anything.

Hiding out, late at night, under pines by the hi-line side. They pass me by, can't find a ride. Don't know what I'm doing or why I try. No ccg to comfort me, just heavy burdens and a lack of sleep. Can't wait to leave but I go nowhere it seems like I'll never get out of here.

Can't forget, cannot let go,
Wont give a shit, for anything now,
There's a light at the end of the tunnel,
But I wont see it running from daylight.

No matter how fast that I can run, it seems as though I'm always back here at square one. Cant blame my boots for coming undone, but my own damn self for feeling dumb. Setting out here waiting three sheets to the wind, where adventures start but my cease to begin, home bumming every where that I go, no journey for my gypsy soul.

Have you ever felt that hopeless feeling when you can't go home but can't last the night?

Leaving tomorrow just never work out right. Got no obligations or justifications for why I stay inside I just got to leave thoughts torment me worse than those IMs leaving me behind

There's a place that no one knows my name that's been calling me year after fuckin year.

Got no where to go and all day to get there

The weather in the streets and the weather in my head got me seeking out shelter, will my journey ever end?

Just sit here and rot welcoming the end that draws near.

Hiding out, late at night, under pines by the hi-line side. They pass me by, can't find a ride.. don't know what I'm doing or why I try. No ccg to comfort me, just heavy burdens and a lack of sleep. Can't wait to leave but I go nowhere it seems like I'll never get out of here.
