Dirt and Dead Ends Lyrics

You're looking at foreclosure and doing time And it don't sound good this time They found the math and the scales And the wife that made your life hell
All the time You were telling me you were fine Oh, silly man, silly man
So I got your dog, how is that? I made it nice, I wrote a check And you cut the weeds back on my drive 'Cause you're a good guy, deep down inside
What makes a boy like you go bad What makes a man so lonely and sad That he'd poison all he knows And in one year, just let it go?
And all that time You were telling me you were fine Oh, silly man, silly boy
Yeah, it's been you and me on this frontier Trying not to be suburban pioneers Fighting off the pavers and the associations And the covenants against the trailers
I remember how, how we used to laugh At all those rotten men in cameo drag With their advantage and their guns Up the deer stand shooting up a storm
And all the time You were telling me all those lies Oh, silly man, a silly girl
Yeah, you and me We used to hibernate like bears But we finally come up for air And everything's all marked and cleared Survey flags flying everywhere
Once you told me what What I'll miss the most Is just being the only ones With our dirt and our dead ends And no one turn us in
Once you told me what What I'll miss the most Is just being the only ones With our dirt and our dead ends
