Turnpike Gates

In order for you to play with this record, we must tune your guitar to ours

We will start with the first string

We would drag ourselves to bed

And sleep took everything I had

I kept it up till he would call

You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you

You kept a smile

Though I would always walk the walk

You gave it all

I gave you reason to have doubt

I had to get out of here

I took the stairs

I don't wanna fight with you if I can't be the one to have you

You sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen

I memorized the lines your eyes made

At every squint you shot my way

We would drag ourselves to bed

And sleep took everything I had

I kept it up till he would call

You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you

You kept a smile

Though I would always walk the walk

But you're miserable

And I'm useless

Always making up excuses

I made you cry too many times

So I'm hanging up that line

I'm throwing rocks at your floor

I'm knocking down your front door

I'm desperate tonight

And I just wanna fight

It's my confusion that lets me act so cold

So now I'll go, go, go

And you wanna be just left alone

Put down that phone

But if you want me, just call out "Hey boy"
