Freight Train Blues

from Northey Sessions by Old Towns

/

lyrics

empty bottles on the porch, drained like the thoughts were from my head
I spent some time collecting them on the terrace outside my bed
I got lost in the streets between where Verdun and Vendome meet
had you draw me a map so I could find my way back

hey hey I won't soon forget your missed phone calls, my hand rolled cigarettes
hey hey I wish that I could stay, but once I'm on that metro line, I'll be on my way

there were holes in my shoes; I was singing the freight train blues
and just like the cheap tattoos, I won't be forgetting you
The van broke down on our way out of town
stress, sweat, and gasoline. There was nowhere I'd rather be

I gave you all my best. I've been awake for days and it's time for me to rest.
