lyrics

I take the back roads down South
There’s one they call Card Sound
Stop by Alabama Jacks and have one for the road
Hand a dollar to the man
And pass right through the toll without a sound

Cross the bridge that Haissen wrote about
And I don’t even care that I aint ever coming back
I’m closer to my home in Upper Matecumbe
Gonna live under the stars
Sleeping off my days spent at the bars

Rocking to sleep
Floating on the only thing that I own
Adrift, but free
There’ll be only two dates on my tombstone
What’s in-between
That’s between me and the sea

I take my place among the mangroves
And I don’t even care if there’s a storm that’s coming ‘round
I’ll ride it like Poseidon’s drunken twin
Never mind the state I’m in
My provisions and my anchors doubled down

Rocking to sleep
Floating on the only thing that I own
Adrift, but free
There’ll be only two dates on my tombstone
What’s in-between
That’s between me and the sea
Between me and the sea
