Justin Townes Earle - Today And A Lonely Night
For six weeks straight
I've been staying up too late
Looked on the pieces page by page
Nothing learned nothing gained
There's been nowhere to go
Threats on the city
and the bridges are closed
Yesterday fell four foot of snow
Slik black sky brought
a bright white glow
But I've been thinking
of going west
Just to climb up as high
as I can get
Press my souls to paths
great men settin'
Push me right out over the edge
Cause I know inside
I'll find my way back
to the city sometime
Feel the ground shake
as the train goes by
Not a star in the sky
My baby she just called and said
The midtown tunnel's opened
So let's ride
And I said darling
I just don't feel much like going
to Brooklyn tonight
I should try to breathe
Lay me down and try to sleep
Count each time my heart skips a beat
Not a light in the house
but what comes in from the street
