Roadside Graves Songtext
von Choke Up

I follow the American dream into a dark alley
Where outlaws with crowbars were waiting in the shadows for me
They beat me red, white, and blue
I′ll be disillusioned and dead to you


The bathroom door is still broken from the night I came home
When you slept in my blood and whiskey on my tongue
Pink slip on the first of the month
You slammed the door
Said you blamed me for the mess that we were in
Reached out on either side of a broken hinge
Just to deny in that ugly horizon

Broken promises glitter the stairs
That once stretched on and on
I keep holding on as glitter to dust
'Til all the good we knew was gone

I never knew what I wanted
Except for you and the wind in my hair
Now those blue eyes are haunted
And ash is in the air
