Mama's grippin' on her hip on the fifth of May

In a photo daddy took on a humid day

In a town that's anyone's guess

Way out in western Kentucky

She's broken hearted as he's ridin' away

On a motorbike out to east L

To find a white line

It's such a fine line

Between broken and lucky

Gettin' high's easy

Gettin' drunk's fine

It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down

So if you need me

Know that I'm bleeding

Somewhere alone in some coastal town

Some coastal town

And I can feel when your body ain't in this bed

I can still hear you laughing last spring in my head

Now it's April and I hate you and I'm heading home

The little notes that you left for me

In coat pockets and cabinetries

Are in a shoebox where we once talked

Back when I felt free

Gettin' high's easy

Gettin' drunk's fine

It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down

So if you need me

Know that I'm bleeding

Somewhere alone in some coastal town

Some coastal town

Mama's grippin' on her hip on the fifth of May

In a photo daddy took on a humid day

In a town that's anyone's guess

Way out in western Kentucky

Gettin' high's easy

Gettin' drunk's fine

It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down

So if you need me

Know that I'm bleeding

Somewhere alone in some coastal town

In some coastal town
