So you bolted from the interstate
and all you owed your past mistakes
and landed where the cops don't know your name

But your infamy's not quiet long
as tried to play your favorite songs
and lied about the bands you used to know

Still somehow they seem to catch on quick
to your bullshit and your barroom tricks
and the medication runs out like before

Your new prescription's greyhound fare
so you borrow money from some girls downstairs
and hope you never see their face again

And if you make it halfway home then at least you'd where home was
If I see you playing in a storefront and giving me a glance
I'll throw you a dollar if I think you've got a chance
And if you make it halfway home then at least you'd know where home was

You're working on a good buzz could you please leave me alone...

For 15 years you dragged along
the hair got gray as the tooth got long
and you've more drought & empties on the way

So you fool yourself a brand new state
is all it's ever gonna take
to start anew and make up another name

Through the jail cells & the parking lots
gas station food and double shots
chasing coffee with beer to keep things strange

Welcome to your purgatory
sit down and spin me one more story
but after this last drink I've gotta roll

And if I make it halfway home then at least I'd know where home was
If you see me playing in a storefront and giving you a glance
Please throw me a dollar if you think I've got a chance
And if I make it halfway home then I'd least I'd know where home was

I'm working on a good buzz could you please leave me alone...
