Lyrics
She brings me turpentine
She smiles and rains it down upon my wounds
I say I like it fine
Suits my affinity for motel rooms
The frameworks for crippled minds
Smoke trails trace the gloom
Our dreams bought on borrowed time
Shadowed smiles half lit with sorrowshine
We lay among the weeds
Time flies when will our hearts go to seed?
Headlong into our sins
Each day revealing more uncertainties
Road maps and other signs
Ghost trails that lead nowhere
On back roads and borderlines
Heartache's a state of mind in sorrowshine
Do you remember?
Half drunk in Wichita
Driving wild with the windows open wide
We prayed the winter wind
Would blow our sins away
Strange how we come to rest
Yet here our troubles stay
What's been implanted here?
Some mystery too old to navigate
Fate deals out crooked hands
Cards marked by jokers high above this earth
Knowing no highway home
Blindly we stumble along
Fools dancing in the rain
Soaked through with sorrowshine
