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.

Give it a saucer of bread and milk on cold winter evenings.

Correct.
I think im going to cut my throut after reading that
Why the fuck would you do that?
because its so fucking depressing
So it is...but does it suck? Depressing and shitty are two different things. I'm just curious if the one is because it is horribly depressing or horribly bad (or both). Anyway, thanks for playing. :0)
No its not shitty. depresing yes does that make you feel better.
It's not going to make me feel badly about it either way. I was just trying to get the constructive criticism out of the fact that you wanted to cut your throat, so thanks.
i like it ...it has made an image in my head ...
you have a well crafted western. doesn't really say anything new and i don't like the refrain, but still well done
