Lyrics Austin Lucas

Austin Lucas

Common Cold

Forty miles left of Georgia road

Daniel sits there staring out

Michael knows it's over

I was tired but I was driving

Driving with a purpose and impatience

My ears were ringing from some fifty basement shows

Tires were burning hot from a million miles of road

I've had time to think of everything that hurt or made me happy with my lady

And as I pulled into Kentucky

It was happiness prevailed

In a skirt and golden smile

I saw that Molly cut your hair

No sleep for days but suddenly an end had finally come to all my waiting

My skin did glisten and my hair did stand on end

I was nervous as my words could never tell you how I felt

Like the way I suffer jealous and so worry about my lovers

Or like the way you hurt me so I couldn't think or speak or breathe or hardly eat

Though you tried to be forgiven

I have not the will or energy

Time has shown my actions with those of a man or a baby

Forty miles left of Georgia road

Daniel sits there staring out

Michael knows it's over

I was tired but I was driving

Driving with a purpose and impatience

And as I pulled into Kentucky

It was happiness prevailed

In a skirt and golden smile

I saw that Molly cut your hair

No sleep for days but suddenly an end had finally come to all my waiting
