America
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Didn't get to sleep last night til after three
Fell into a super8, my head is hurting me
Yeah I'm feeling mean
You take the queen I'll be the king
Do not disturb me til morning
Drinking in the evening
Sinking in the sun
Drip fed drip coffee
And living on the run
I wasn't made to sit so still
I wasn't made for this
Do not disturb me till morning
Yeah do not disturb me
America
I'm here, I'm gone,
I'm in love, I'm alone
I'm good as gold
And I'm bad to the bone
Missouri, iowa, minnesota
Where I'm going now I don't know
I don't know I don't know
I don't
Ashes in the firepit, still smoking when I wake
Fear can simmer softly and love can turn to hate
But for now I'm happy to accept what I create
Do not disturb me till morning
Yeah do not disturb me
America
I'm here, I'm gone,
I'm in love, I'm alone
I'm good as gold
And I'm bad to the bone
Missouri, iowa, minnesota
Where I'm going now I don't know
I don't know I don't know
I don't
