Orion Lyrics by The Americans

Stand True

2022

Headed home, not a second late
I got a head of steam up on the interstate
Can't look back at the things I've seen
In the rearview mirror is a vicious dream
Black sky thundering a mile ahead
And I'll take back every little thing I said
On the horizon is my destiny
And right beside me, the one who's gonna set me free
I got money in my pocket, a pick-me-up switch
I got the Friday evening itch
Took my look right off the shelf
You know I'd do nothing to you I wouldn't do to myself
Calling out to me as I leave
Is that you, honey, tugging at my sleeve?
I need a rider, like a pair of wings
Hold me tighter, forget I told you anything
I did wrong, baby, with you in mind
I did wrong, baby, to the ties that bind
I did wrong when you asked me for help
I did wrong, I couldn't keep it to myself
I did wrong, baby, with you in mind
I did wrong, baby, through the old grapevine
I did wrong, I couldn't do it by myself
I did wrong, baby, and I need your help
Alone inside my hotel
I learned my lesson well
Only ever fell
For the ones with a story to tell
Take my lighter, keep it out of the breeze
The moon is risen, it's a sickly green
Doesn't take but one hand to steer
And I think I can take it away from here
I got Orion in my window pane
I set fire to anything that did remain
