SING HER OUT

VERSE 1

WELL I NEVER REALLY FIT IN, IN THE TOWN WHERE I WAS RAISED
WE DINED ON CIGARETTES IN COFFEE SHOPS WHEN SMOKING WAS OKAY
AND I LEARNED ABOUT TRUE WRECKAGE ON SOME RECORDS IN THE SHADE
WITH A DARK HAIRED GIRL WHO’D NEVER LOVE ME BACK

SO AUSTIN WAS A SHELTER FOR A SMALL TOWN BOY TO RUN
HAD ROCK N ROLL FOR BREAKFAST, HAD LIBERTY FOR LUNCH
MET A VEGAN GIRL IN LEATHER, WHO WAS ALWAYS UP FOR FUN
TIL CASKETS ROLLED, AND LIGHT GAVE WAY TO BLACK

YOUR HEART COULD BREAK OR IT COULD BEND,
STAY ON YOUR KNEES OR CHOOSE TO MEND,
SAVED BY THE LYRICS NOT YET PENNED,
WE'RE SINGING HER OUT...

SO WE GO ALONG TO GET ALONG, AND NEVER GET BRUISED
GONNA PICK UP CINDERELLA WITH A BOX OF NEW SHOES
AND SHE’LL TELL ME OF FORGIVENESS, AND I’LL TELL HER BOUT THE BLUES
AND WE’LL SING IT ON, WE’LL SING HER GONE, WE’LL SING HER OUT

WELL PUNK ROCK WAS SALVATION, AND FRIENDS WERE POURED IN BARS
AND MUSIC TOLD US STORIES, AND THE STORIES WORE OUR SCARS.
AND SOMEONE IN MY MEMORY STRUCK A CHORD ON A GUITAR
AND ITS CHORUS FOR US ALL, BUILT US TO LAST

WHILE FAITH WAS RIDING SHOTGUN, WE LEFT ROMANCE BACK AT HOME
WE’D GO WALKABOUT FOREVER, INTO THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
LEFT A HEARTFELT KISS UPON THE TOP OF A LOVE ONCE CARVED FROM STONE
NOW JUST A MARKER IN A GRAVEYARD OF MY PAST

THOUGH YOU'VE SLOWED DOWN, YET ON YOU GO.
IT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT, IT'S ALL YOU KNOW.
BREATHE IN THE FIRE DOWN BELOW.
WE'RE SINGING HER OUT.

SO I BORE MYSELF A NEW LIFE IN THE DUSTY DESERT AIR
WITH A GREEN EYED QUIET BEAUTY WHO WORE FLOWERS IN HER HAIR
AND A SMILE THAT ENDED HUNGER IN A GLANCE OR WITH A STARE
TOOK MY HAND, AND THEN MY HEART, BEFORE IT BROKE

LEFT THE POET TO HIS PAPER, AND SHE GAZED ON BRIGHTER STARS,
AND WHEN THEY BURNED OUT, SHE’D JUST WISH UPON THE BONES OF SHOOTING HEARTS
BUT I KNEW SHE REALLY LOVED ME ONCE, AND IT JUST TEARS ME APART
I’LL HAVE A COFFEE, ONE MORE CIGARETTE AND GO…

SO SHE JUST TURNED AND WALKED AWAY,
WITH ONLY VOLUMES LEFT TO SAY,
THOUGH O'ER YOUR HEART SHE STILL HOLDS SWAY,
WE'RE SINGING HER OUT...
