And the morning comes with coffee we can share And the smell of cigarettes is in your hair There's a sound that shouts outside the hotel room And at night the bulbs of cameras flash at you And if we don't have a future If our lives split like shattered bits of glass And if we don't have a future Just leave your autograph Your autograph And at night the ball of neon lit our fate And our shadows painted many different shapes But the movies turn complex in front of you There's just a smell of cigarettes left in the room And we made fake conversation And we peered through broken bits of glass And it's all just complication But too complex to ever last And if we don't have a future And if this kiss dissolves into the past And if we don't have a future Just leave your autograph Your autograph Just leave your autograph Your autograph Just leave your autograph Your autograph

In a small corner bar he sits there a'drinkin' Lost as a ball in a field full of corn Further away than he ever imagined That he'd ever end up from the place he was born Now no more forlorn has a Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you see out the side of your eye Drinkin' alone as he looks out the window At all of the strangers on the corner outside And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Now they knew not his name and he knew not their faces And he knew not the how nor the reason for why You could ever wake up and wanna keep on a'livin' In a place where a friend was such a hard thing to find And for e'ryone ya meet there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like hell to pull you on down To the level they're on and the trouble they're tendin' In the mess that they've made in the gutter they found And he'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When he was a kid, Lord he'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down Some fellas do drugs and things of that nature Some fellas chase girls to hang on their arm Some fellas get by on practically nothin' Some fellas get pissed in a small corner bar And they'd rather be dead than alive one more minute In this Godforsaken town When they were all kids, Lord they'd never a'dreamt it All the ways that the city can bring a country boy down
