lyrics

Like a worm in the hot sun
The bird finally got one
And I’m calling shotgun
When you throw me a beer
And the A/C reminds me
Of the highways behind me
All the races I’ve lost
When the coast was too clear

Daddy’s third heart-attack
Gold-banded Cadillac
This one’s a keeper
We know that for sure
Too slow and too steady
Too few and too many
A close-minded teacher
Who opened the door

And I quit drinking whiskey
When I finished that last song
Some people want me
To start it again
But I wish they could see me
I wish they’d believe me
I guess I’ll just show ‘em
In a future breakdown

Like a worm in the hot sun
The bird finally got one
And I’m calling shotgun
When you throw me a beer
And the A/C reminds me
Of the highways behind me
All the races I’ve lost
When the coast was too clear

The old field gets muddy
When heaven breaks open
Here’s to hoping
That an angel will fall
So I’ll just take what’s left
Of my bones that aren’t broken
And build me a man
Who will answer the call

Who will answer the call
When heaven breaks open again?

Like a worm in the hot sun
The bird finally got one
And I’m calling shotgun
When you throw me a beer
And the A/C reminds me
Of the highways behind me
All the races I’ve lost
When the coast was too clear
All the races I’ve lost
When the coast was too clear
