Moon

Honey, I've been fine before

I'll be fine again

I promise you

I drank a lot before

I'll drink a lot again

I promise you

When you got back from New York last fall

You could barely hold a conversation with me

I had a long time lover in Dallas

And you couldn't stand her with me

I heard you're getting married

Congratulations

Do you remember when

We used to ride out far into the sky?

When the Moon was some low country dog born to die

You used to say, no one trusts a cowboy

Nothing hurts more than their silence

Loneliness rest easy on the mind

It's not hard if you, not hard if you try

All I want is a chicken in the yard

And your love for Jesus Christ

Back then you used to sing Aileen

You woke from the same dream

Loneliness won't reach us out here

Among the palm trees and the dying wind

I got to find something more

Than this languishing skin

Come back to me, come back to me

Come back to me, it's alright

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Remember you were so young

Then I was so young too

Your body blossomed

To the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen

Matt's brother was in Iraq

And we went down to the legion hall

To get something to drink

Back then you used to say: " No one trusts a cowboy, honey

Nothing hurts more than their silence "

You'd say loneliness rests easy on the mind

It's not hard if you try

God only knows I've tried

I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry

Things didn't turn out the way we planned

Every once in a while, I still think of us in our sins

When you got back from New York last fall

You could barely hold a conversation with me

But do you remember when we used to ride out

Far into the sky?

When the Moon was some low country dog born to die

You used to say: " No one trusts a cowboy, honey

Nothing hurts more than their silence "

You'd say loneliness rest easy on the mind

Loneliness, it rests easy

Hawks in the belfry with heavy eyes

The Moon was some low country dog born to die
