Lyrics

She moved into town in high school
When all of my thoughts were torn
She put my left hand up her skirt
Out in the fields of corn

Every single friend from back then
Told me to guard my name
But I pinned it up next to hers
Right after the first child came

Riding on a gravel freeway
Looking for an answer
Purged of all the darker things
Like you... like you...

Ride in the truck to the Stump Lake
Too drunk to know right from wrong
Build a fire and a scream
Some old country song

Riding on a gravel freeway
Looking for an answer
Purged of all the darker things
Like you... like you...

I leap into the heart of the night
My throat is burnt and raw
Someday you’ll say I was the best
That you ever saw
