Driving out to Gun Barrel City
Losing our shirts under Lone-ly stars
We discover cheap liquor
And spin through the night

The seasons passed and pulled us along
Dragging us apart in time
We struggled against the current
But it drank our hope and crushed our minds

Touching down at winter’s belly
Piles of leaves stifling the grass
And I see your home and heart
But they’re just cinder and smoke

The seasons passed and pulled us along
Pulling us apart in time
We struggled against the current
But it drank our hope and crushed our minds

Our hearts still smolder
But I look the other way
You whisper your goodbye
I begin to say…

The seasons passed and pulled us along
Pulling us apart in time
We struggled against the current
But it drank our hope and crushed our minds

Yearning now for that sweet poison
Memory turns into wine
Every sip takes me back
And I spin through the night

Back to Gun Barrel City, Gun Barrel City
All burned up in Gun Barrel City
