lyrics

My nose is freezing, red as a beet
Twiddling my thumbs in the passenger seat, man
I wish we had the money to fix the heat
In this car
This’ll be the longest trip I’ll ever have to make
To get to your funeral, burial and wake
And we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

My world’s shook up, like I been through an earthquake
My outsides buzz and my insides ache
You can say you’re ready for when it comes
But you never really are
I always knew there’d be a time when you’d be gone
I never liked you much but I loved you all along
And we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

First and last you were a drunk and a mean one at that
You used to call me good for nothing, used to tell me I was fat
I used to like you best when you were away
Down at the bar
You never got me, I never understood you
You were the salt in my wounds, I was the gum on your shoe
And we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

My husband’s driving and the baby’s in the back
When you finally went I thought it’d be heart attack
But no, they went and shot you, the whole thing’s
Bizarre
And the cops don’t care enough to figure out why
I guess one way or another all old men die
And we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

Mama died when I was just nineteen
They said it was a stroke but I always believed
She left this world on account of that
Broken heart
Nobody asked you to be the perfect spouse
But you were screwing around and then the bank come took the house
And now we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

Well we drove through Pennsylvania and Ohio
Final destination is Chicago
I know seeing you again’s gonna rip open
This old scar
But I found a man who loves me and loves me true
And it’s the last time I’ll ever lay eyes on you
And we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far

I know things can get bad and then things can get worse
And sometimes it feels like you’re stuck in reverse
But when your world is dark sometimes peace shines through
Like a burning star
And daddy when I leave, I’m gonna leave you here
And I’m never gonna cry you one more tear
And now we’re traveling
We are traveling
So far
