lyrics

You showed up w a gun
To pick up your prescription
And you hand that note to the cashier
you turn to run
Push past those policemen
Get to the car, get to the highway to disappear

If the exit 20 loop doesn’t kill you maybe you’ll spiral forever to hell
And wake up in a hospital
wake up in a holding cell
Cause God’s flashlight beam could never reach that far down this well
And I really do not want to go back out there.

I wanted to be a good thief
But I was on the wrong side
And I wanted to be a good wife
But I guess my body just was not built right

So if dextroamphetamine doesn’t kill me I hope I spiral forever to hell
I want to wake up in a hospital
I want to wake up in a holding cell
Now I know God’s flashlight beam could never reach that far down this well
And I really do not want to go back out there
