lyrics

The Waffle House was closed
Wednesday morning 3am when you realized you forgot to pack a change of clothes
Never straying too close to home
Navigating using fast food restaurants and watching where the smokestacks blow

Saturday September 23rd
Thunder rolling in the east on the coattails of the trade wind winged firebird
Never daring to utter a word
Oh you kissed me for a Mississippi second then you kicked me to the curb

Scrape away the tailpipe crust
In Mississippi second chances smell like car exhaust and look like painted rust
Like the memories you think you can trust
Your heart is rotting in your chest while far away your childhood home returns to dust

Your drive-thru waffle fries
A testament not a prize
Getting colder while you while away the time
How it flies
And it's taken you much farther down the road
Than you realize
Then you realize
You were just lost
All along
