Kelly's Bar

(album: Life Is Good On The Open Road - 2018)

I was sinking like a stone in Red Wing, Minnesota
In a bar called Kelly's right next to the train
It shakes the walls and you have to stop talking
It's never much different but it's never the same

And the guy next to me he was fighting for nothing
Love that was over and a knife in the back
I was seeing double so I went out walking
I didn't know if I would ever get back

Met a girl downtown and she was covered in lightning
She thought my weakness was charming but I didn't agree
Well the cops were out watching everybody that was driving
Any one of you here could sing it better than me

And the sun was rising on the banks of the river
I was dying in Tom's back yard
No idea how I ever ended up Winona
No idea how I ever let it go this far

Yeah there's somebody there that I can't remember
I'm certain this person meant a lot to me
Yeah maybe I've changed, yeah baby everybody changes
And maybe you're not where you thought you would be

But I dream about it on the nights when I'm sleeping
And I wake up screaming in my own damn bed
Yeah I'll work harder at the people that I'm keeping
If you work harder getting outta my head
