American Flags In Black & White

(álbum: High On Tulsa Heat - 2015)

You lived a life of pride
You lived a life of pain
Trying to pray away the stormy weather
Sweeping up the dust
Reaching out for yesterday
Yesterday's a blade sharp as ever
And the well that held those tears
Couldn't make it one more year
I guess there's a loser in every fight

Your favorite version of the past
You found in a photograph
American flags in black and white

I promised my belief
I promised lots of things
But promise never brought your kind of message
Cause if it don't burn up
It'll blow away next spring
You won't be combing through the wreckage
And the things that made you feel so safe
Are only on a screen these days
And there's a loser in every fight

Your favorite version of the past
You found in a photograph
American flags in black and white

And the well that held those tears
Couldn't make it one more year
I guess we're the losers in this fight
My favorite version of the past
It's you in a photograph
American flags in black and white
