Soak It Up

Wussy


You cut off your hair 
Despite all the warnings 
And burned all my letters 
On your concrete block 
I wasn't there 
When they found you 
In the morning 
I found a bullet 
While you were finding God 

I'll take the blame 
But drinking's just too easy 
And I can't soak it up 
When the memories 
Start to run 
I have a plan 
That could get us 
To the next town 
But I never thought 
I'd drive this far 
Without a gun 

When the hurricane came 
I didn't board the windows 
I knew by the name 
It was coming for me 
I wasn't there 
When the sun came 
In the morning 
I never had a reason 
To stay anyway 

I'll take the shot right 
Between the eyes 
But I just can't soak it up 
When the memories start to run 
I have a plan 
That could get us 
Through the next four summers 
I never thought 
I'd drive this far without a gun
