Gold
But I woke up in a ditch behind the Stop ’n Go
Lying in the weeds with a bullet in my gut
Watching dollar bills fly away in the dust
Now the sun’s sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I’m going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
There was a girl with dark eyes and hair shining black
It ran like a river wild down her back
But these wide empty streets, the air shaking with heat
They made me hungry, hungry to do something mean
Now the sun’s sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I’m going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
The Stop ’n Go’s closed
The coyotes they moan
And the wind’s rolling beer cans down the street
But the sun’s sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
And I’m going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
