Maritime

Well the mines been closed, since I was a kid

Steel plants gone now too

Some of the boys came up with a plan

Gonna pack it up and head out west to see how they do

Think I'll go with them if I can get up the nerve

Lord help me find a way

When I close my eyes all I see is her

She's the only reason I stay...

I swear, I can change

And I know I said that yesterday

If your heart breaks down and you use mine

It's weathered and weary, but it's maritime

I know Jimmy'll give me a little work if I asked

Hauling traps under the table for cash

We were drinkin' tonight by the overpass

I sipped him some shine and he smoked me some hash

I swear, I can change

And I know I said that yesterday

If your heart breaks down and you use mine

It's weathered and weary, but it's maritime

This place creeps right past your heart

Down into your soul

We were lookin' for diamonds but we found coal

Don't let it burn ya when the night gets cold

Sittin' here thinkin' about our old home

I'm wonderin' what could be on the other side

All our memories are here so darlin' I know

We can make it work if we tried...

I swear, I can change

And I know I said that yesterday

If your heart breaks down and you use mine

It's weathered and weary, but it's maritime

And I swear, that I can change

And I know I said that to ya yesterday

If your heart breaks down and you use mine

It's weathered and weary, but it's maritime
