Haley Bonar Us
Dusty vents lie on the floors near the footsteps
Your daddy came and left
He bought you a safety gun
And when you won the rodeo
He bought you a safety pin
So you could hold it all in
So you could hold it all in
The sun is wearing out your eyes
They look across the land
But they can't tell sea from sand
Now who will hold your hand?
And who will rub your back?
Your chains run deep
Your chains run deep
But I been waitin' for your word
Been hoping that the earth won't suddenly catch fire
Calling on the dirty liars
They can deal with us
They can deal with us
They can deal with us
The smoke will always clear
But the air will always taste
Like you cigarettes and place
Time's got me by the neck
I'm standing by your stone
The words are meaningless
They go forever
And now, I'm walking through the room
You used to stamp your feet
You used to call my shame
Well, you won't go down in flames
It's a tuckered way to think
You had your father's eyes
You had your father's eyes
You had your father's eyes
And I been waiting for your word
Been hoping that the earth won't suddenly catch fire
Calling on the dirty liars
They can deal with us
They can deal with us
They can deal with us
