lyrics

Heard you got lucky, came into some money
New York City, you think, is the place you’ll be heard
All my songs come before you, they’re just out to get you
I know it ‘cause you screamed from a phone in LA

My stomach is ulcered, let’s go play some shit shows
Let’s drive down to Memphis and weep at his grave
When you point to a teardrop and ask why I’m laughing
You know it, I told you, we’ve done this before

And you pulled at my arm and I spilled my Huge Ass Beer
I let out a violent cry
With the soft, shitty blues intertwining the twilight
You showed me where Jeff Buckley died

The Grey Goose is leavin’ you, Memphis is killin’ you
The racism, you say, is “like, so over the top.”
But we’re good for an hour, make love for an hour
Then I say something sexist, I’m kicked to the curb

Where people take pictures of Elvis’ picture
I vow to be famous, I’ll sell my soul
Down by the Mud River, or to a cabin in Wisconsin
To Wilco’s Chicago, or this Tennessee moon

So we sat in a car making closer decisions
To leavin’ things just how they are
And in the spirit of Elvis’ gravesite beside us
Left Graceland by car and by plane

Are you okay now? The worst part is over
But I hear painkillers and wine in your throat!
While a girl from some website self loathes around my place
The cell phone destroyed us, let’s make shit by hand

You hate all music, I’m over-exaggerate
I hope that I open for you one day
‘cause your favorite folk singer is my favorite folk singer
You live in his voice, I live in him too.
You live in his voice, I live in him too.
