Lyrics
Feeling almost nothing pumping gas
Sweet vapor giving me something back
Heading for that town at Big Lake
Specks of dust and cattle in my wake I'll be there too late to drink That's OK I need to think How I'm gonna get my mind
Feeling almost nothing all the time
Water tower's pass like sailing ships
My cab it rattles loud in starts and fits Like nitrous through a valve it's therapy Wash away that taunting imagery
I see her throat her collar bone
Her lips are where I call home I seek to have this heart of mine
Feeling almost nothing all the time
It's dark enough to see the Neon sign
Motel it says in red fluorescent lines
I wonder where she lays her pretty head Who's she got there laying in her bed
That restless waif discarding me Opening up and laughing free
Me I've got no hope to die
Feeling almost nothing all the time
