Cumberland Queen

from Made to Rust by Dumb Luck

lyrics

I got a call today
Said you're coming down to Clarksville
I’m at the station just in time to miss you
Every time you come to town
I don’t see you around
I’ve been pushing my luck trying to make ends meet
Because no one gives a damn
No good damn about me
Not in the Cumberland Queen

You don’t really want to stay the night
Just fucked up and need a place to hide
I won’t be taken by surprise
No this ain’t my first ride
I know you’ll never come around when you’re needed
Always on the run, always falling
I won’t be taken for granted
Cause you know it ain’t me cause your ass to leave

I’m so sick of this motel life
Broken screens and menthol lights
And no shine to anything
Always recovering
I don’t eat
I don’t sleep
Or wonder where you might be
Treading water endlessly
Until you come to bury me

It's four in the morning
Fog rolling in
I’ve got orders to report
To Fort Ord in a month
And you’re moving back home
Northward to Lebanon
I park my red VW in front of your room
Call the last known number where I could find you
And I know there are some things that will never come
That part isn’t new
I’ve gotten used to waiting on you
Waiting on you
