lyrics

There ain’t no common sense
Just ain’t no consequence
And you remember that heart attack?
The mountains out here look just like that
I got a dog and a pistol and a shack
Don’t worry about me, I’m not coming back

There goes the last tear I’ll cry
Passed on like an heirloom down the line
I’m going home with a hole in my back
On a Westbound train on a Northbound track
Shot me once but my bodies intact
Don’t worry about me, I’m not coming back

So I drink up my whiskey and fall back to the pines
Her heart is a solid rock, and it rolls
It rolls around in my mind
Am I living or am I dying?
Well I suppose it ain’t worth crying anymore

There ain’t no common sense
Just ain’t no consequence
With every moment my heart beats slower
My blood drips dry and my bones grow older
So what the hell are we moving toward?
I may never know
I may never know

So I drink up my whiskey and fall back to the pines
Her heart is a solid rock, and it rolls
It rolls around in my mind
Am I living or am I dying?
Well I suppose it ain’t worth crying anymore
