Marshalltown (Remastered)

Driving in from the edge of town

Ice cold winter Sun

Is going down

And I'm staring just the way I used to

Through that dirty all-night restaurant window

Just thinkin' 'bout the things

I wish I could give up

Just thinkin' 'bout the things

That just won't let me go

But I know I'm gonna be alright

My mind won't focus

I take an out of the way drive

In and around

The north side of town, where the smoke from Hell's exhaust pipe

Lingers above the cheap rent in the dark night

Hours pass through me

I'm tired of wasting time

Half hour later towards the downtown lights

I don't know what I'm still doing here

The Coliseum Blue Room

Has been empty for a long time

You have to push these kind of thoughts

Right out of your mind and I try

Something has been wasted

At least that's what it seems

All the bars have long closed down

There's no one but me

In the streets of my hometown

I've already said too much

I'm all lovesick for endless broken white lines

And I say to all the young wild ones

For you on your way up

The world isn't against you, my dear

It just doesn't care
