Speed Trap Town - Live from Spotify Nyc

Lyrics

She said, "It's none of my business but it breaks my heart"
 Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart
 Made it out to the truck without breaking down
 Everybody knows you in a speed trap town
 Well it's a Thursday night but there's a high school game
 Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and forget my name
 These 5A bastards run a shallow cross
 It's a boy's last dream and a man's first loss
 And it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight
 And there's no one left to ask if I'm alright
 I'll sleep until I'm straight enough to drive, then decide
 If there's anything that can't be left behind
 ♪
 The doctor said Daddy wouldn't make it a year
 But the holidays are over and he's still here
 How long can they keep you in the ICU?
 Veins through the skin like a faded tattoo
 Was a tough state trooper 'til a decade back
 When that girl who wasn't mama caused his heart attack
 He didn't care about us when he was walking around
 Just pulling women over in a speed trap town
 But it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight
 When I realized he'll never be alright
 
 Sign my name and say my last goodbye, then decide
 That there's nothing here that can't be left behind
 ♪
 The road got blurry when the sun came up
 So I slept a couple hours in the pickup truck
 Drank a cup of coffee by an Indian mound
 A thousand miles away from that speed trap town
 A thousand miles away from that speed trap town
