DON'T FOLLOW ME

Song w/o Music 5

Thirty coming into town

sixty heading out

Couldn't leave fast enough

on any highway route

A one hearse town

with a crappy whiskey bar

Near enough to everyplace

and ugly as a scar

         Thirty coming into town

         Sixty heading out

Get drunk, got drunk, gone

how'd you get next to me

Past the city limits

you still won't feel free

         Thirty coming into town

         Sixty heading out

         Ninety on the straightaway

I watched her watch the road

with that smile on her face

Didn't see the hairpin curve

'til we launched out into space

         Thirty coming into town

         Sixty heading out

         Ninety on the straightaway

         Weightless

Ain't no parachute to save our skin

Won't get out the trouble we been in

Just another lousy weekend binge

And she meant less to me than a shot of gin

         Thirty coming into town

         Sixty heading out

         Ninety on the straightaway

         Weightless

         Blind

Don't give it too much thought

how I might of wrote this song

You think the bottom's coming up

But it's still a long way down.

         Thirty coming into town

         Sixty heading out

         Ninety on the straightaway

         Weightless

         Blind

                  and dead.
