In the Car Outside

[Intro (Man 1 and Man 2)] Hi, Beth Oh, I was just calling you to chat with you I'm probably going to have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow Oh, I hear Patsy backed out on ya tomorrow Is she— Damn it, John (Hmm?) I lost that frickin’ steel line (Ugh) Shit! Okay, it's alright Go fucking find it Ah, shit, I'm lookin’ man (Ha-ha, fuck) See, I told you my head don't work right Yeah, you don't have to tell me that [Verse 1] I'm in the car, I just needed to clear my head She's in the house with the baby crying on the bed She's got this thing where she puts up the walls so high It doesn't matter how much you love It doesn't matter how hard you try [Verse 2] We got a place with a fence and a little grass I put this film on the windows and it looks like chapel glass But when shе turns, it’s like the shadow of the cross don’t cast No blеssing over our lonely life It's like waiting for a train to pass and I don’t know when it'll pass [Chorus] But I remember when she used to set the room on fire With her eyes, swear to God It's like a flood of grief and sorrow from a haunted life When she cries, like a train, it's a lot [Verse 3] I dropped a line to a flickering high school flame We laughed about all the ways that our lives had changed She’s up the road, about thirty-five miles north Got two little boys in school, just had a real bad divorce And in a moment of weakness [Chorus] I told her if she ever needed a helping hand I would lend, swear to God It's like the part of me that's screaming not to jump gets lost In the sound of the train, it's a lot [Bridge] Trying hard Not to care Swear to God [Instrumental Outro]
