Dirt And Dead Ends

You're looking at foreclosure and doing time

And it don't sound good this time

They found the meth and the scales

And the white that made your life hell

And all that time

You were telling me you were fine

Ah, silly man

Silly man

So I got your dog, how was that?

I made it nice, I wrote a check

And you cut the weeds back on my drive

'Cause you're a good guy deep down inside

What makes a boy like you go bad?

What makes a man so lonely and sad?

That he'd poison all you know

And in one year just let it go

And all that time

You were telling me you were fine

Ah, silly man

You're a silly boy

Yeah, it's been you and me on this frontier

Trying not to be suburban pioneers

Fighting off the papers and the associations

The covenants against the trailers

I remember how, how we used to laugh

At all those rotten men in their camo drag

With their advantage and their guns

Up in the deer stand shooting up a storm

And all that time

You were telling me all those lies

Ah, silly man

I'm a silly girl

Yeah, you and me

We used to hibernate like bears

And when we'd finally come up for air

Now everything's all marked and clear

Survey flags flying everywhere

Once you told me what

What I'll miss the most is

Just being the only ones

With our dirt and our dead end

And no one to turn us in

Once you told me what

What I'll miss the most is

Just being the only ones

With our dirt road and our dead end
