You kill me

Some nights
I get into the car and drive
nowhere quickly
but nowhere may keep me alive.
I'll leave it to the road to be
the honey in my tea
let my teeth get rotten
through the fields of floating cotton

Don't you think I know old friend
it's not really the way that things end.
Typically you're supposed to be
staring right into me but
something about the way you see
honey, babe, you kill me

Fading my eyelids weigh one million miles
of dotted road ways
and passing through the country lines
without a railway to fight
Got no tracks to lose
got no fruit to bruise

Don't you think I know old friend
it's not really the way that things end.
Typically you're supposed to be
staring right into me but
something about the way you see
honey, babe, you kill me

I was a girl
on the country for now
one foot in and
one foot out
Didn't care for what I wore
or know what I was looking for

But something about the way you see
honey, babe, you kill me
something about the way you see
honey, babe, you kill me
