Glossary - Gasoline Soaked Heart lyrics

With a pocket of luck I made it out to Greenville Where I married that big American sky While all my cynical friends Have been camped out in the suburbs I've been running around Living a ramblin' man's life From a bar stool I was shouting out bible verses To a ghost who'd been following me for awhile And I couldn't find the energy I needed To make myself smile These headlights are just a pair of eyes That only open at night To see the darker side And these dead end streets Only lead to dead end things My heart's drenched in gasoline Don't light a spark in me I woke up to feel the dirt I swear for a second I could feel a heartbeat in the earth And the stars burned like cigarettes And danced like ashes over my head I couldn't even say a word From a parking lot I was fighting with the shadows And trying to run away from my own No matter how many songs I write He's never going to leave me alone These headlights are just a pair of eyes That only open at night To see the darker side And these dead end streets Only lead to dead end things My heart's drenched in gasoline Don't light a spark in me
