Song Description

Some relationships are just too hard

Lyrics

She looked up at me with those dolly parton eyes
eyes so plastic and blue they made you wanna dance
dance all over her with a pair of football boots and reckless abandon
fuck me fuck me she begged
only i was too big a man to partake in such meanderings
so i walked out into the desert cold of cement trees and pigeon shit watering holes
I heard her crying from the distance and it didn't seem real
I walked away straight out into neon and decrepit
to the pitholes in the face of this city
a blast from a gun and whiskeys later stupid o'clock stomped on me with razor claws
and then a shitstorm occurred
I tried to run the gauntlet but my efforts were deterred
i tried to climb the ladder to the light
i tried to reach it in a blaze of glowing light
i put my finger to the flame
just to find out if my feelings had a name
i dreamt it all before i woke
i tried to wash it down with alcohol and smoke
i tried to reach the other side of understanding human compromise
here's a quick word to the wise
never run never cry never hide
i told her mother i'd be back
i never counted on the hookin and the crack
she told me i was just a shmuck
and if she saw me out she'd run me over with her truck
i told her i refused to lie
i left my baby all bleedin and black eyed
she told me i would got to hell
i told her that i'd see her angel down there
well in another dozen towns I became a man of mystery
with love to go around
and then i heard from her again
a package that i got delivered in the mail
about a thousand words of love designed to nail
always
silent days and taken nights
i won't fight

you could say she never leaves my brain
her face sorrounds me like a coating of the pain
but i don't let her make me weak
i rise up screaming in the middle of my sleep
silent days and taken nights
i won't fight
always
