Exit 194b Lyrics

Richmond Fontaine Exit 194b

After my brother, my cousin and me, we stayed in that house
But my cousin got so depressed that he couldn't get out of bed
then I came home one night and he was sitting at the kitchen table with a woman I'd never seen
They were both laughing and drinking and he said he'd joined the army and a couple weeks later he'd left
Exit 194b there's a house along side that road
Looks like any other house i suppose
Six months later he called me from a pay phone and he said he'd gone awol,
The next time I saw him it was snowing and
I saw him walk up the drive
We went inside and shut the blinds and we stayed up for days
The death of my youngest brother fell into us
like he was right there in a flannel shirt and with his crazy laugh
Exit 194b there's a house along side that road
Looks like any other house i suppose
But it haunts me still and won't let me go
There was a darkness in bath of us that neither was strong enough to escape
so we just stayed in that house, we just stayed in that old house,
my cousin, and me & my little brother, he always loomed
