Replying to a comment on:
Bleeding in the American South (Lyric) by wilco
In this whiskey-town
Thereâs nothing left but drinks,
to satisfy the fact
that I don't need to think.
Stories from the regulars
shape the nightly news,
as holy-roller Christians
give away their pews.
Please don't let me bleed
my life away.
So there's nothing left
to satisfy the masses.
don't worry about the war
everybody raise your glasses.
The bathroom walls tell
of romances gone wrong
while the drunken cowboys
sing drunken cowboy songs.
Please don't let me bleed
my life away.
All the women say their words
are so much more profound,
than anything that I could say.
so I don't make a sound.
Curbside, on a touring trip
to nowhere in the world.
Settle for a one night stand
with a faceless, nameless girl.
Please don't let me bleed
my life away.
