lyrics

She was already spittin fire
when we hit that Texas line
twenty-six hours left to go
she'd already lost her mind
maybe it was the whiskey
maybe just the coke
I think it's both

As we passed through Houston
The sun was shining bright
I yelled 'god I hate this fucking city'
known it all my life
maybe it was the whiskey
maybe just the coke
I think it's both

cuz we're all hell bound
I'll just get there quicker
and I'll pass you the spoon
if you pass me the liquor
and we'll all drink up
and I'll feel so warm
but she'll be crying on my shoulder soon
we're a long long way from home

Spent the night awake in a flea bag motel
the bed sheets smelled of sex and death
lost love, cold hearts, and hell
so I drank up all the whiskey
took what was left of the coke
and I lost hope

Now there's people tell ya
about the fires down below
but I've had their burning blind my eyes
seen that awful glow
I know it's where i'm headed,
but it don't change who I am
I'm just the damned
