Kelly Joe Phelps - Red Light Nickel lyrics

Trails the no home leave behind them "God bless you" signs on a street corner lamp post Maybe a vet of his own alley way An "Ain't drunk yet wanna be" swallow song Ain't drunk yet wanna be Bits of rubber hanging by a needle Thread between childhood and where this is now How does one wither or whittle down a tree For blossoms that try to bear right circumstance Blossoms that try to bear So, it's good out there? Better than some... Folks keep trying to bring back the summer That returned an unreturnable smile Shoe string in a nether wind Fish bite on a silver hook Soft step in the stairwell that sounds like dad Hungry, it is, tired and old 30 or 80 years, ticket the same The game stay's the right of the pa**ing in time Surrogate rhyme lingers tip o' the tongue Surrogate rhyme lingers So, it's good out there? Better than some... Folks keep trying to bring back that summer That returned an unreturnable smile Shoe string in a nether wind Fish bite on a silver hook Soft step in the stairwell that sounds like dad When I was young, my dreams flew in colors Even did as the sore ocean rumbled Now my feet wander the length of new countries Red light holding my vision to come And a green light holding my vision And it sounds like dad It sounds like dad And it sounds like dad
