Gabe Lee United States Of Nowhere
[Verse 1]
Hundred miles across the border
Saint Maria Frisco Bay
Big ol' stack of leather Bibles
Blowin' down the interstate
Where crimes are cheaper by the dozen
And mothers scream out in the night
What you plannin' on to do here
Cotton candy Jesus Christ
[Verse 2]
Oh United States of nowhere
Some say that paradise is gone
Troubles are brewin' ‘round here lately
And where have you been all along
Flyin' choppers through the desert
Whiskey tango fox trot blues
Bring ‘em home just for the weekend
And we'll make something out of you
[Verse 3]
Must've penned 1000 letters
Two weeks worth of kerosene
Dropped ‘em in the sheriffs mailbox
And still they somehow weren't received
They must've flown out on a dirt road
Cuttin' hard around the bend
Only you to chance to read them
Well this is what they would've said
[Verse 4]
Oh United States of nowhere
I heard you cry the whole night through
Left some money on the table
Lost a hand a time or two
And I don't know if it's the red wine
Or 90-year-old Spanish rain
But you best pull yourself together
Or you might never be the same
[Verse 5]
So when people get to talkin'
About things they don't know
Begrudge you nothing by it darlin
We're all just here to see the show
And they got drinks up at the counter
Liquor line gin over ice
Here bring this dollar to the man there
Go on get you something nice
[Verse 6]
Oh United States of nowhere
It's getting time to get you home
And I don't have to leave you lyin' out there all alone
You don't have to much explain now
Why you've been so awful bad
That shit can wait until the mornin'
You ain't got to be so sad
Won't you come on out the cold dear
And tell me all the dreams you had
