Two Dumb Lovers Lyrics

Try so hard, but can’t get back home

Lost somewhere, down by Arkansas

Like a chain link fence, on a moonlit night in town

Almost like there’s no one at all around

Day and night she draws her veil

Imagining and picturing the nail

That she would drive through his head

In the picture she hung over the bed

And It’s such a strange simple dream

Two dumb lovers in a brown Plymouth Sunbeam

With Omaha plates, in some southern state

They’d rather not say

Turn down the road marked the way

A sound in the near, sent him to turn to stone

Like the sound of a bullet, right down to the bone

And his father and his mother hit the road

And abandoned him with a friend in Muscle Shoals

Far away from everyone

Broken down, misguided son

Couldn’t lie, couldn’t steal

Couldn’t love, couldn’t feel
