FEELING ALMOST NOTHING

Feeling almost nothing pumping gas Sweet vapor giving me something back Heading for that town at Big Lake Specks of dust and cattle in my wake I’ll be there too late to drink That’s OK I need to think How I’m gonna get my mind Feeling almost nothing all the time

Water tower’s pass like sailing ships My cab it rattles loud in starts and fits Like nitrous through a valve it’s therapy Wash away that taunting imagery I see her throat her collar bone Her lips are where I call home I seek to have this heart of mine Feeling almost nothing all the time

It’s dark enough to see the Neon sign Motel it says in red fluorescent lines I wonder where she lays her pretty head Who’s she got there laying in her bed That restless waif discarding me Opening up and laughing free Me I’ve got no hope to die Feeling almost nothing all the time
