Hitched A Ride

(альбом: Painter's Hands And A Seventh Son - 2009)

Hitched a ride with a cocaine man
Slept on the floor of the back of his sedan
And we sang some tunes in every key so low
Classic rock n' roll for one and a half souls, yea
Hopped off for a coast bound train
Paid my cash for a roof in the rain
Fell in love with being alone
And I made love to a few empty souls
They all returned the favors
You can't fall in love with inconsistencies
Yeah, you can't fall in love with me

I was going by a different name
A Western call fit for a different place
Found myself between the bay and the coast
A strip of land made of gamblers and lust
So I rode it out on a parasail
I kissed Australia and did not tell
There are some things that you may never know about me
There are some things that I just won't show you
There are some places we will never go
You can't fall in love with inconsistencies
Yeah, you can't fall in love with me

So I left the key by the door
So you can hang it around someone else's neck
Someone who'll use it more
And I left the candle burning
I left it lit, so you can blow it out
When you find someone else, someone who's worth it
