Shovels & Rope - Cleanup Hitter feat. Brandi Carlile

Текст песни

Everybody’s in this together
Why you wanna break your back
Pushing through the wind and the weather now
Lay another mile of track
He was a friend of mine
His heart was full of flames
He swung that hammer like a hard
Driving rain
Give him a familiar name
Becka’s going out to the dance tonight
Why you wanna cut your tongue
Try to keep it out of the disco light
Thinking back on when he was young
We never talk that much
I never knew her grace
But he was helpless when the light fell
On her face
Nothing ever stays in its place
Woo-hoo
Wash my face in a clear cool stream
Try to shake off last night’s dream
Man it’s hard when you got it down into your soul
Maybe my sister’s just got all the good luck
Maybe I missed it when the lightning struck
Just can’t keep living off rock 'n' roll
He spit a heart out till his mouth
Could take no more
The dust and leather scattered
Splinters across the floor
He never questioned who it was
He did it for
Nail it to the back of the door
