Rainy Days and License Plates

I'm looking for rainy days and license plates

Forget me nots and coastal states

Seven dollars and a cough

Is all I've got

To my name

That I don't know

'Cause no one's told me in a year or so

That the days are worth living.

Might as well give it all you've got,

Or just give up.

Someone said that boy you gotta run.

You can't look back there is no sun.

It's only a flashlight in the sky.

Someone's held it up and it turned big.

And no one really knows what it is.

Or how to explain it.

Keep it simple.

Keep it nice.

Keep it lovely.

Please stay bright.

When it comes to brilliant.

You're the only one that comes to mind.

I've tried my best to leave this place.

But I always end up just the same

On a sunday in the middle of another morning's fade

And the nights they're not so good

When your only friends that understood

Are in the middle of a state

That's too far to drive.

You try your best to see it a different way.

well at least i'm still alive.

But life it's a word.

And me I'm just no good

Without my guitar

And voice to sing your praise.

Like how the midnight needs the moonlight.

And skyline needs the sun

To light the days.

I'm hoping for simple songs and melodies.

It's then past two and the swaying trees

Just remind me of those highways headed home.

To the clarksville skyline.

And the air it's just as fine

As it is here in indiana

But the streetsigns just ain't the same

And not as many people know my name.
