Keith Carradine - The Lights lyrics
Your rating:
Left your home at 23 suitcase full of (gin?) Thought you had the perfect getaway Stole yourself across the hills You stole and stole again Now the lights don't shine cause you're away Stuffed that suitcase full with dirty hundred dollar bills Leaving for another holiday Found yourself surrounded by the city's finest clowns Now the the lights don't shine when you're away Must have been a memory put you back at sea You were never much for big displays Well the devil seems to think these complications suit you well Cause the lights don't shine when you're away Staring at that picture in your mommas dining room Taken just before your birthday She keeps asking if I know when you'll be coming home Cause the lights don't shine when you're away Must have been a memory put you back at sea You were never much for big displays Pack that suitcase every night if it sets your mind at ease Cause Running ain't an easy trait Well the devil seems to think these complications suit you well Cause the lights don't shine when you're away Cause the lights don't shine while you're away
