Trains Lyrics by Matt Minigell

Pipe Dreaming

2018

He drove all the way to Texas
In his daddy's beat-up Lexus
Made it back to Tennessee before it quit
Now he's drinking like a tempest
In a backstreet bar in Memphis
Trying to find it in his heart to give a shit
She was born in Mississippi
To a Fascist and a hippie
So growing up, she never stood a chance
Hitched her way to Carolina
Waited tables in a diner
Trying to save a bit of dough and meet a man
While I was coming into Cleveland
Too sick and tired for dreaming
My empty pockets filling up with rain
So I sat there getting rowdy
With the drifters and the townies
And we talked about our lives gone down the drain
Cause I need you, baby
To know me
And I want you, darling
To care
And I may be nothing to most girls, but you
Always made me want to start again
The schedule there was cryptic, and the mood apocalyptic
When I finally climbed aboard that evening train
So I lay down in the distance
While the derelict and mystics
Counted up the corkscrews in their brains
Then I looked at you like Lewis looked at Clark
And we faced off with that Mississippi dark
Cause I need you, baby
To know me
And I want you, darling
To care
And I may be nothing to most girls, but you
Always made me want to start again
You always made me want to try again
