- | i leave the house as soon as it gets light outside | ||
- | C G | ||
- | like a prisoner breaking out of jail | ||
- | G A7 | ||
- | and i steal down to business 15-501 | ||
- | C G | ||
- | like i had a bounty hunter on my tail | ||
- | D | ||
- | and somebody stops to pick me up | ||
- | C | ||
- | but he drops me off just down the block | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | G Em | ||
- | and along the highway | ||
- | | ||
- | where the empty spirits breed | ||
- | | ||
- | wild sage growing in the weeds | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | walk down the soft shoulder and i count my steps | ||
- | |||
- | headed vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes | ||
- | |||
- | and i lose my footing and i skin my hands breaking my fall | ||
- | |||
- | and i laugh to myself and look up at the skies | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | and then i think i hear angels in my ears | ||
- | |||
- | like marbles being thrown against a mirror | ||
- | |||
- | and along the highway | ||
- | |||
- | where unlucky stray dogs bleed | ||
- | |||
- | wild sage growing in the weeds | ||
- | |||

- | F C | ||
- | and somedays i don't miss my family | ||
- | G F | ||
- | and somedays i do | ||
- | | ||
- | somedays i think i'd feel better if i tried harder | ||
- | C D7 | ||
- | most days i know it's not true | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | i lay down right where i felt cold grass in my face | ||
- | |||
- | and i hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides | ||
- | |||
- | and i stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand | ||
- | |||
- | til it doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | and when somebody asks if i'm ok | ||
- | |||
- | i don't know what to say | ||
- | |||
- | and along the highway | ||
- | |||
- | from cast off innumerable seeds | ||
