Leaving this town headed south bound

The car full of narcotics, some cheap cocaine

And we cut our losses in North Dakota

Where it's true they name their streets all after thieves

We kept our eyes locked on the border

And one hand on the wheel

And kept us to the right

We never got no further south bound

We left those wheels to spin us right through the night

And we set fire to both our paths

Following lights you'd left to guide us soon became a bore

We lit those flames and made our own

And left those lights to burn behind us

In the dark I finally see that I'm alone

We won't heed no call to arms

And we won't heed no call at all

Threw ourselves into the water

Just trying to keep our bodies warm

Honey we've been here before

We made mistakes just as our fathers before us

Trying to drag our legs behind us back to shore
