lyrics

so what's left of this runaway
straining my eyes in the bluegrass state
some day i'll be better than i was today
nothings new nothings different nothings changed

so where do i get my fire from
playing mercy with the gravel that this roads become
a pair of bloody knuckles and a jealous sun
that only warms my bones when they're sticking up

so tuck my heart back under your bed
like the tattoo of a hammer on the back of your head
before you grew out your hair and let it stay red
nothing new nothing different nothing left

so just tell me what i came to hear
you cleaned yourself up when i disappeared
and you're better off now without me around
and you hope i figure out what i'm still doing here

what'd you keep of your old man's estate
heard you sold off the land and the keys to the safe
bought yourself a house that doesn't feel like a grave
something new something different some things change

but where did you get your fire from
burning up bluegrass in a 10 gallon drum
you're sick of this town and the person i was
i used to be stubborn but now i won't give you up

so tuck my heart back under your bed
like the tattoo of the hammer on the back of your head
that your daddy said was reckless and he wanted me dead
nothing new nothing different nothing kept

so just tell me what i came to hear
you cleaned yourself up and it's been too many years
you're better off now without me around
but you hope i figure out what i'm still doing here
hope i figure out what i'm still doing here

so what's left of this runaway
drying my eyes in the bluegrass state
some day i'll be better than i was today
nothings new nothings different nothings changed
i just came here to see what you would say
