pensacola

(album: sore thumb - 2022)

79 dollars to my name
Staying alive by the sound of yours
Just 79 miles out from your place
Hitching a ride
Oh you'll see that I've changed for sure

That disguise is over
I can't explain the hold up
My body's in Pensacola
Mind's in this gin and soda

You know, some places aren't quite like you remember

79 days since God sent her
She says, "Mistakes don't make who we are"
But 79 less fuck ups in my book
Brings me to you, behind the wheel of a car
So it's 79 lies that I'll tell for
My seat in hell
All alone at the foot of this bar

That disguise is over
I can't explain the hold up
My body's in Pensacola
Mind's in this gin and soda, but hey
That disguise is over
I can't explain the hold up
My body's in Pensacola
Mind's in this gin and soda

You know, some places aren't quite like you remember
Some faces here, yeah, they wear like pretenders
Some days this year, man, they feel never-ending
Some places aren't quite like you remember
