80 on 80 - Doomtree

My recent bio reads I’ve been split into a thousand pieces / with a length of

twine and a working thesis / still waiting on my come to Jesus moment / in an

old interstate hotel room somewhere outside of Omaha / door unlocked,

looking at these paintings / this La Quinta is looking like a scene from No

Country / thinking about death, God, love, and nothing / cicadas humming /

cigarettes and lightning bugs / not stopping for nothing / I slash I burn,

dead weight behind bumper / outrun headlight, heart pound like drummer / dust

kick through vents / rust hang off Ford / cigarettes and lightning bugs / red

lights all ignored

(Hook)

Out here time slows / Full tank, ready to go / Lose an hour, gain it back and

roll / Only lines I stay in dot the road

(Dessa)

Living out of my left pocket / out-of-state plates / Gotta take my notches with

me / rented room, the bedpost stays / Out here it’s all Bruno Mars and zero

bars / so who I gotta talk to to get a little bar food after hours / been

working hard all night, we grind it fine as flour / tonight it’s my town / go

tell your dogs to lie down / I came a long way, came the long way,

and I aim to make that whole way count / I’m a train outta track / I’ma take,

I’m attack / gotta make way or make waves / get in or get back

(Mike)

So outta bounds, outer space / gotta make good what we started / deploy,

shove off to troubled waters / by the board or off the shore, bring only

what’s for barter / Time slows, back home is by the minutes / back home is

always forward, they don’t need you in it / it’s wide roads, slim seconds at

the finish / before you know it, the game is winning

(Hook)

(Cecil)

Say what, as I pick you the flowers and show up / I’ve been so ashamed of my

love / and the moment you feel it you say what, so what
