Big Empty Shoes Lyrics by Matt Minigell

Pipe Dreaming

2018

Brooklyn's like a wildfire
Sitting in the midnight mire
While I go up on trial too tired to speak
The college kids are getting trashed
Causing problems in the back
Maybe I'm too sad, it's just as well
If you're happy and you know it, go to hell
I packed a bag with phantom hope
Climbed aboard a ferry boat
While tears were slipping slowly down your face
You're back home now tossing darts
With your lazy eyes and your broken heart
The gentle way you slip between the cracks
If I had a prayer, I'd give you half
Driving down the 101
Running from the setting Sun
With yesterday's old smile still on my face
In a town with half a horse
You look your best, you feel your worst
The barman gently tends to all the flies
Can you count the stars up in his eyes?
