lyrics

you burned like fire in the coal mines
sayin ditch this town, let's leave tonight
cause every vein has run dry, the canaries all died
and i tried to save that last look at ya
when you drove off in our neighbor's crown victoria
and i knew you were gonna be bound
for some far off place and tomorrow i'd be back underground
but somehow

if my lungs don't fail
my heart don't break
i'll find you again no matter what it takes
i finally have a reason not to let myself fall apart
i swear that day, i died inside
i've seen those busted tail lights leave a thousand times in my mind
everyday i wonder why i didn't take that ride, kiss this old mine town goodbye
might as well cut the line

about

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
