East Nashville Easter

Engine's running hot

But now it's burnin' down

Everyone says that this is going well

But I can hear every sound

Four gray walls

Make it all seem right

But everything looks wrong

In these cheap hotel lights

Going up and down

Down and out

Cheap cologne and expensive perfume

I've never seen so many lost souls in my life

Air so thick, so busy and loud

One crazy young man standing out in the crowd

One of these days when the sun comes up and I'm tossin' and turnin' alone

I'm gonna pull myself up outta this state

I'm gonna make everything seem alright, alright

Know how it feels with the sun in my eyes, still that heartbroken wind's at my door

One of these days I'm gonna wreck myself and this engine won't run no more, no more
