lyrics

A pay phone call from Durango
Baby bring me back home
Don’t know who I was pleasin
When I left you alone
Swear to god if I go deeper in the desert
I’ll get sand in my eyes, in my eyes

I’m driving west
to where I love best
all the places I will go
Another state line
mile marker signs
faces I don’t know

Next time I call Don’t pick up the phone,
let me use all my change
Please don’t console these thoughts
Let me rearrange
Swear to god if I go
deeper in the desert
I’ll never make it out alive

I’m driving east
where the two halves meet
as fast as I can go
Another state line
mile marker signs
who am I? I don’t know

I called you crying but I don’t want you to send me money again
If I come back we’ll be stuck in the same roundabout and when
I hit rock bottom I want you to leave me there
Cause this ain’t nothin I can’t bare
This ain’t nothin’
This ain’t nothin’
This ain’t nothin’ that I can’t bare
