Dan Takes Five

Stuffed my heart in a bag slammed the back door

if I get home it'd be a home no more

took off runnin in the middle of the night

I was aimed for anything that felt half right

look out baby I'm gone a little ride

I see my name written on the center line

moon looks good air is cool

every bone been broken in the Golden Rule

Well I'm flyin through Dothan with radio

Taylor's Ole Time Opry's playin Hank Snow

sing's my nightmares in his song

I say I'm with ya man I'm just movin on

look out baby your wish came true

you got your freedom the house and the whole canoe

I got the thangs that I need

I took the car my pride and three pairs of jeans

My brain is bleedin got nails in my spine

but I ain't gonna stop 'fore that empty line

radio's fadin road's like a snake

it's two in the mornin' and I'm wide awake

look out baby Gates of Eden got closed

but New Orlean's open see the pretty lights glow

I'm goin in to get myself lost and found

it didn't take too ___damn long to tear a good thing down

It may not be ideal

but at least we're not running at the mouth

I-10 to San Antone

woke up and went south

fleeced at the border

for thirty five and some change

but that's a small price to pay

runnin from the pain

look out baby I'm gone a little ride

there's a brush fire on the highway

gonna burn both side

wish I could throw our sins

in the flame and smoke

I'll call you up if and when I reach hope
