Born in a Ditch Lyrics by Call Me Spinster

Potholes

2024

[Verse 1]
Baby, I was born in a ditch
Chasing after something that I couldn't itch
Swimming around in dirty water
Looking for the pieces that I couldn't fix
[Verse 2]
Baby, you were born long before
Rainy day in August on a kitchen floor
Emptying the bank, filling half a tank
Giving just a little, always taking more
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh (You run away)
I'm gonna keep a light on
Oh-oh-oh (Someday you'll stay)
I'm gonna keep a light on
[Verse 3]
Fell for the drummer in a band
Rolling in the Styrofoam, Biloxi sand
Some of the time I want you
Mostly though, you're running show with slight of hand
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh (You run away)
I'm gonna keep a light on
Oh-oh-oh (Someday you'll stay)
I'm gonna keep a light on
[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 4]
Keep coming back to baby Gene
Shoes shined in the trumpet line of St. Augustine
I can't even fault you for all the ghosts that haunt you
Dance to keep from dying down in New Orleans
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh (You run away)
I'm gonna keep a light on
Oh-oh-oh (Someday you'll stay)
I'm gonna keep a light on
Oh-oh-oh (You run away)
I'm gonna keep a light on
Oh-oh-oh (Someday you'll stay)
I'm gonna keep a light on
[Outro]
You found the door, you found the door
You found it, yeah
We're swimming for that open shore
Yeah, we're drowning
You found the door, you found the door
You found it, yeah
You know the score of this tired war
Yeah, we're drowning
