previous Cigarette Burn next

Maybe your love is an uncrackable code
Maybe your love is like a railroad
That you ride when you’re all alone
And you speed down the tracks to the place
You call home

You’re like a song that I can’t unlearn
Drivin your truck you make every head turn wanna
Sleep with you tonight with the sheets upturned
When it’s so quiet darlin you can hear a cigarette burn, cigarette burn

Kissin in your truck, construction zone
Callin you at midnight, bar payphone
How many weeks till you come back home and
How many nights can I make it all alone

Whiskey sour, Jack and Coke
Runnin real hard at the end of your rope
Drivin through the desert on a hot summers night
Hearin Don McLean’s “Stary Stary Night”
Well your heart’s a can and I’m just kickin it on down the road
Well your red wine darling, it just makes me want to explode
Dancin barefoot to a bluegrass band
With a do-si-do and a kickin up sand
Take your partner swing her by the hand
Drivin ten thousand miles in a V-dub van

Well your heart’s a can and I’m just kickin it on down the road
Well your red wine darling, it just makes me want to explode

Pullin into Reno just before dawn
I’m checkin in a hotel doin no wrong
Nickel slots with a girl named Dawn
Wakin up every morning with a rock-hard-on

Your heart’s a can and I’m just kickin it on down the road
Well your red wine darling, it just makes me want to explode

Maybe your love is an uncrackable code
Maybe your love is like a railroad
That you ride when you’re all alone
And you speed down the tracks to the place
You call home
You’re like a song I can’t unlearn
Drivin your truck you make every head turn wanna
Sleep with you tonight with the sheets upturned
When it’s so quiet darlin you can hear a cigarette burn, cigarette burn
