One time, two times, all times forever one time, two times, all times for you Climbing up a memory, dirt roads and moonlight smooth, black sky like paint on fingers I've come to suffer you, I've always known what to do to tap the pain and let it flood like a spring 'Cause I've got tiny little bowls to fill tiny little bowls to fill, tiny little bowls empty little bowls One time, two times, all times forever one time, two times, all times for you doling out daily punishments like taking tea with my regrets and slipping them a shiv beneath the table I yearn for that prick but if the first doesn't do the trick there are myriad ways to make myself break slide the noose of you around my neck skin myself and burn the flesh with longing and matches and might've beens and on good days I'll feel it oh, I need to feel it 'Cause I've got tiny little bowls to fill tiny little bowls to fill, tiny little bowls empty little bowls with you One time, two times, all times forever one time, two times, all times for you

How can you sing the songs of the mountains when the mountains have been rolled flat? Get out of the morning, get out of the night get into the car and drive past all that. The notions we carry, those to which we're bound only fuck us up, then they fuck us down The reason I'm leaving's the reason I love you: the man is the voice is the terrain. You can peel the longing from my neck but I know the road I'm to know again I'd forsake me if I were meant to stay make my heart an anchor and I'll break away I thought I could be still for you in the places where the rivers bruise but love gets so funny when wet and I haven't gotten to the haven't gottens yet so I'm heading west And the sky pours love all around me oh, but love--not everyone needs it so I'm breaking miles just to say that I can and to feel the good of leaving so I'm leaving I thought I could be still for you in the places where the rivers bruise but love gets so funny when wet and I haven't gotten to the haven't gotten yet so I'm heading west

Going Sooner 03:27
Lord I know I've forsaken you to be fair you forsook me first we can pass this plate of blame around I'm not sure what's worse the pointed finger pettiness the angry lack of forgiveness your laughing at my distress I'm ready to let it go Just get me on that road I-40 going west Lord, get me to Oklahoma in a dirty white cotton dress and we can talk, make amends be cordial if not friends I'm ready to let it go I'm ready to go These words, these words mean nothing if these words are all I have so I'll crawl across the Ozarks just to find a place to stand and see myself for what I am: a blue streak, like lightning a dry and heavy wind a destructive force, a tire swing swaying and breaking the limb so let me go Just get me on that road I-40 going west Lord, get me to Oklahoma in a dirty white cotton dress and we can talk or walk away you won't have to see my sorry face again 'cause once I'm in Guthrie once I'm in Enid once I'm in Woodward once I'm in Guymon I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone so let me go
