Iron & Wine - My Side Of The Road lyrics

Saw you take it on the chin outside the Phoenix Motor Inn You could always find a way to k** the bird and keep the flame Somehow lighter on your feet, crossing the dark end of the street Falling harder than a star cause you could hear the broken heart Within the world, within the world That ain't your song, it won't sing along Mission bugs out every night, they throw themselves into the light Always waking from a dream of blowing up and burning clean Saw you cold and getting wet, s**ing the ends of cigarettes You learned how to love a scar cause you could hear the broken heart But you won't sing that sad song Saw you run and hide, I saw you slide across the sky But I never saw you down on my side of the road Saw you take it on the chin and fix it back with bobby pins Saw you lose before the start, I saw you shining in the dark Saw you chained, I saw you choke, saw you running out of rope Saw you shaking off the blues, I saw you recognize the tune But you won't sing that sad song Frisco's too much for me to bear, I thought for sure you'd meet me there But I never saw you down on my side of the road
