Cavities
Got a cataract in my mind's eye, darlin'
and a dust devil in my lungs,
my sacred heart has clean burned out,
and the fat lady's sung my songs,
Never said I was saintly bastard,
but baby you should have guessed
theres a little red devil on my shoulder
screamin' "Boy, you're time has passed"
Ten AM, I'm still sweating vodka,
screaming down highway ninety-five
I know i got a death wish going,
but honey, you know Ive never felt alive
Amped up like a long haul trucker
with demons screaming in my veins
Convoy's playing on the am station
And baby I think it's great
The open road unfolds before me
with no destination to be had
I gotta break the grip of this bible belt
before I take a shotgun to my head
Well my blood is thick like diesel fuel
a chemical broth of insomnia
I got ninety miles before my tank runs empty
ninety miles till my mind is gone
Got a cataract in my mind's eye, darlin'
and a dust devil in my lungs,
my sacred heart has clean burned out,
