I can’t sleep a wink any longer
And tobacco signs are like chains on a river
2 x 6 been threaded through the sable
And I’d never seen the wrong side of the coast
Flashing and the crackling of the timber
It’s one more down and the hole’s getting bigger
Looking like its raining in the rafters
And I’ve never seen that live oak up so close
But I’m seeing things I never thought I’d see
And I’ve got her to thank for showing me
Seventeen years more
And from what they say it’s only getting worse
Chewed me up and spit me out
Another season will surely be the end of this town
Hush up now Katie, don’t you cry no more
Because those winds will scratch and steal and maim a man
You don’t want to know what lies behind that door
'cause there's things out there you’ll never understand
But I’m seeing things I never thought I’d see
And I’ve got her to thank for showing me
Seventeen years more
And from what they say it’s only getting worse
Chewed me up and spit me out
Another season will surely be the end of this town
Seventeen years more
And from what they say it’s only getting worse
Chewed me up and spit me out
Another season will surely be the end of this town
