lyrics

i keep my promises separate from my dues
wear my heart on whatever sleeve i choose
there’s not enough whiskey in this hundred mile stretch
to make me feel like i did when i left
home that night with you

i follow through when i say that i will
if i’m not shouting down a $5 bill
it wasn’t a small town but it wasn’t big enough
to hold me together when law heard of us
back home that night with you

and morning comes this time of year
like hurricanes that drive off of the pier
i used to think we would linger here
like the neon glow of this new york chandelier

i learned how to leave my bags at the door
escape out the back and coming in for some more
there’s not enough whiskey in this month-long rut
landlocked in a dry spell that i can’t even touch
home that night with you

i never thought that you would change my mind
wishing on pennies at a 5 and dime
it wasn’t a small town but it wasn’t big enough
to keep me from looking for something that was
home with you

and morning comes this time of year
when the sugarcane all but disappears
i used to think that we could make it here
in the neon glow of a new york chandelier

morning comes this time of year
the mark of cain that never shined so clear
i used to think that it would find us here
in the neon glow of our new york chandelier
