Coffee stains and broken dreams
Bendin' on these guitar strings
I've been diggin' all night
Bleedin' on the page
Leanin' back blowin' rings
Drip drip drip in the hotel sink
Neon light flashin' through the pane
Been down this road before
I know right where it leads
I should turn back but I still believe
There's gotta be a better song in me
Melody just won't be found
I write a line then scratch it out
One more shot
I know I'll chase it down
Taste a word, spit it on the ground
Tick tick tick the hands go round
The passin' time's an awfully lonesome sound
I've broken every window
And I've jangled every key
A pale moon night is callin', but I still believe
There's gotta be a better song in me
Light casts shadows on the floor
Gideon's still in his drawer
I don't know who I'm writin' for
Tears are spillin' on the page
Guess I'll leave it for the maid
When she comes knock knock knockin' at my door
To everyone I've cared about
Suffered through my last sundown
I think I know what I'm writin' now
