Roadhouse (For M. Eckhart)

from Cosmic Dread Country by Chris Kiehne

lyrics

There was a roadhouse in my heart.
I set it on fire for you, babe.
I watched it burn.
I felt the warmth upon my face.

All the liquor and cocaine –
The unlit cigarettes –
Up in flames.
Yeah, sure.
I guess I quit.

I know that I was wrong.
I know that you were right.
But I’m restless and I’m bored,
And I liked the reckless life.

I burnt the roadhouse in my heart.
I tried to make it look like an accident.
A claim was made –
I never got no settlement.

The rubble sits there in my chest
Waiting for development.
Just one more ruin in the wilderness.

I know that I was wrong.
I know that you were right.
But I’m restless and I’m bored,
And I liked the reckless life.
But now the bar is on the door
And the band is quiet.

There was a roadhouse in my heart.
I set it on fire for you, babe.
