lyrics

CHEYENNE

REVIVED, COFFIN BREAK, SUFFOCATED, I COULDN’T WAIT
IT'S TEN BELOW AND A BLACK TOP ROAD
NOBODY'S OUT THERE, TONIGHT IT'S LONELY
PASSING THROUGH
I THINK A DRINK IS DUE, I’II TAKE TWO

OUT OF CHEYENNE INTO PINEY WOODS, THIS DRIVE
WILL DO ME GOOD
REMEMBERING WHAT SHE SAID, WHAT SHE SAID
"I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY NO, I'M NOW IT, CAN'T YOU SEE
IT’S THE PASt THAT BINDS, THAT'S NOT AN ALIBI
BUT YOU NEVER TRY, WHY DON'T YOU EVER TRY?"

I REMEMBER A WISHING WELL
WHERE WE STOOD AND WHOSE HAND THAT I HELD
AND THE COIN THAT WAS TOSSED AND WHAT IT GOT
CIGARETTE SMOKE AND EMPTY ROADS
IT'S 4 AM A STUPID JOKE
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW
ON A LIST I'M ALONE
EINSTEIN, BARFLY, WHICH ONE WHAT'S
THE FACE TONIGHT
BUT THE LAST THING SHE SAID
AS THE PHONE LINE WENT DEAD
"IF YOU ROLL ALONE I’LL LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON
IF YOU ROLL ALONE I’LL LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON
IF YOU ROLL ALONE."

(D# G A# G A# D)
