(jesse valenzuela)



Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids

Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch

This car I'm driving can't drive me fast enough

Thirty miles of potholed roads got me shaking like a drunk

Straight back far away a long ways from here

Just south of nowhere

Static on the radio gave out five miles back

And I'm singing some old marshalls song just for laughs

My head aches from cigarettes my eyes are edged with sleep

Meet out past the muddy ditch beneath the palos verdes trees

Straight back far away a long ways from here

Just south of nowhere

Monday morning takes me back to where I have to be

Full of half assed-promises this shit just ain't for me

Meet me out past the cottonwoods where we ran as kids

Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch

Straight back far away a long ways from here

Just south of nowhere...
