Mile Stretch

Don't you know I live here on my own?

Where time is old and memory cheap - that's what I've been told. 

You've been gone a while and I'm wading through the foam;

And the dogs - they bark at everything, so how am I to know when you're home? 

Well it's been a while and I'm thinking you were right. 

My lies were blonde and stayed a while, but never spent the night. 

So come on back and we'll give it one more try. 

But the dogs they bark at everything, so I may never know if you come by. 

I've been living on my own for a while, 

Out on the edge of town.

Where are all the trees?

I cut them down. 

If you're driving by, come on, come on in.

I'll be sitting with my music on, taking shots of gin. 

There's a fire in my belly and in my soul,

And the dogs they bark at everything, but don't you mind their howl, it's my home.
