Bouncing Ball

The streets were all empty

Like a bad Western movie

And we're stuck calling it home.

Drinkin' to blackout

Days pass and fade out

Here's how you know you should go

So me, I'm leavin'

And for no reason

He told me, "Let's paint this town red."

Speedin' past cop cars

Fake guns and face scars

Forgot Bonnie and Clyde

Wound up dead

And I can see your little bouncing ball,

And I found love with no sense at all.

So we took a road trip

From Boston to Memphis

To see what we'd find

Jesus on billboards

And triple-X book stores

Are what suck in my mind

Forgot feeling shameless

Go straight to Vegas

And try to seem cool

Now I like my sinnin',

But husks of old women

Were all that I could afford.

I can see your little bouncing ball

And I found love with no sense at all.

Keep me from crashin',

From burning and smashin'

My way through.

If I had a savior

Not old books and paper

Maybe I wouldn't need you.

Oh, and I can see your little bouncing ball

And I found love with no sense at all.
