lyrics

People tell me they're headed west well I say don't take that highway 36 that's where the devil lives and people tell me that they're headed north well I say you got to avoid the cold I'm headed for the coast

All the money that I've wasted on trains always headed for the same damn place I need a town without a name

People tell me that I need to pray or there's no space in the afterlife for me I'm living to die and people tell me that this is it well if this is the end I'm going down with ship cause I'm dying to live

And I left my grace in your hands to keep in safe but I bite my tongue every time I'd like to say that I hate you for what you've done
