Back There

from Bottleneck by Martin Rivas

/

lyrics

Back there, another city
Back there, another town
One less gallon of gas and one mile closer to breaking down

I can't be understanding, I can't be sensitive
I gave up when I realized what you needed the least was the most that I could give

Not far to get some dinner, not far to get a bed
One less person to think about
One more body in my head

Back there, another diner
Back there, another thrill
The rising sun ends the anguish over the night before
The evening before

The engine screaming for mercy from the unforgiving road
Tires unconscious and bleeding, about to explode
Skidmarks like nails on a wall, that sick familiar sound
Plunging deep in the ground
Digging deep in the ground
Endless sleep in the ground

That scar is slowly healing
That scar will be around
If you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound

Back there, another exit
Back there, another cop
If he could tell me where I'm going
I might pull over
