Your Neck of the Woods - Small Talk lyrics

I kissed a stranger on a train bound for Denver 'Cause I ain't that good at small talk Well I just still don't know if it was one for the road Or another time I couldn't say no 'Cause I've kissed fellas when I didn't wanna And I've made love when I wasn't sure But somehow this time in Nebraska it struck me My actions don't speak my words So I carry my prayers in a penny in my shoe Curled under my toe and hidden from view And I had eyes keep what my mouth wouldn't speak But when my eyes do my talking they stop doing their sleep Wondered how paper beats rock for some years I toss thoughts like confetti between these ears I ain't no hard-headed woman, I've a body like clay Full of your fingerprints carvin maps in my wild terrain So I carry my prayers in a penny in my shoe And I've tossed them down wells and left God to choose And then I damned my misfortune like a goddamned fool Now I toss more tails than heads these days but I keep on flipping coins anyways Next time I'm rollin through the lonesome midwest Somewhere between the coasts When shades of gray make it hardest to say What needs to be said the most Well honey I'll have learned you can't lick your wounds If you're always biting your tounge And nipping at your own hands that feed you Leaves you helpless to heal anyone I kissed a stranger on a train bound for Denver 'Cause I ain't that good at small talk
