lyrics

One last cigarette and bottle's dry
Said we've had enough tonight
Pray for sleep but, sleep I never will
I just sit upon my little square
And judge all those who live down there
Talk down places I will never see

Deliver me to better days
I know a train not far away
It's headed east so I guess I will be too
She said to come find me in better times
But better times are hard to find
Twenty years and I'll be searching still

So, stow your prayers and pack your bags
Boy, now it's time to find a home
Where those wounds have all healed
And it finally feels
Like you spent enough time away from home

But you can save all your hope for a happy end
Because the devil he writes none.

As time goes by it fades
the urge to save the world and smash the state
It all turns into survivin day to day
But before I turn, I got 40oz. of ethanol
And I swear one day Im gonna watch it all burn.

Come find me in better times
But better times I'l never find
Forty years and I am searching still

Stow your prayers and pack your bags
Boy, now you're never going home
Those wounds havent healed
And It'll never feel
Like you spent enough time away from home

But you can save all your hope for a happy end
Because the devil he writes none.
