lyrics

Baltimore, Texas

If I had the heart
She’d be safe
And you’d pay for what you did

Hey
I’m alright
I just have nothing going on tonight
$2 in my wallet
And fading stoicism

When I’m drunk
All the doubt melts
Panhandling off the freeway
May not be far off for me

If I don’t see the value in living
Why love?
I’m nothing without my brain
So shoot me and let me die
I can’t forget it can’t I?
Temporary high

Let it ride
Two phrases
I love you
Understanding

The system won’t protect you
It always breaks down
Rotting from the inside
Corruption
No justice no lead

If I rode to Baltimore
Dig in my spurs like Texas
They’d all be destroyed
Nobody to save them

The river doesn’t forget
The plains don’t fade
If I were in some power
I’d restore the spirit that’s kind

It matters
Just not enough
For people to care
Everyone is taking their things
and leaving from there

Everyone from Baltimore to Los Angeles
God has forgotten us
We aren’t the children
