Avery Lyrics by Liz Longley

Hot Loose Wire

2010

[Verse 1]
You got so damn high you left me in Wisconsin
And I was sound asleep as you drove my car away
And about a hundred miles south of where we were going
I was stuck in a stale motel just cursing your name

[Chorus]
Oh, Avery, have you gone mad after all these miles of memories?
Avery, you said you'd run, but you never said you wouldn't take me
What about Alabama? What about Tennessee?
What a friend you turned out to be, Avery

[Verse 2]
Well, last I heard you sold by beat up Chevy
Oh, but you never spared a dime to give me a call
Are you hitching rides on highways, railways, every day?
Trynna break free from the weight of yesterdays
Getting lost in drugs and alcohol

[Chorus]
Oh, Avery, have you gone mad after all these miles of memories?
Avery, you said you'd run, but you never said you wouldn't take me
What about Alabama? What about Tennessee?
What a friend you turned out to be, Avery

[Bridge]
Are you howling at the moon in Montana?
Or burnt by the sun in Santa Fe?
Oh, wherever you go, you never go to stay

[Chorus]
Oh, Avery, have you gone mad after all these miles of memories?
Avery, you said you'd run, but you never said you wouldn't take me
Oh, forget about Alabama, to hell with Tennessee
What a friend you turned out to be
Don't you think it's time you came clean, Avery?
