Drive-By Truckers - Space City lyrics

rate me

If I could have one wish right now

I'd be about as half as tough as I pretend I am

Then I wouldn't care how empty this old house feels

I could take her things and take them far away from here

I could make sure no dirt ever got on her name

Cause looking at that stone wouldn't bring me so much pain

I could go into town wearing my finest clothes

I could turn these tears into blood and make it run ice cold

Space City's one hour up the road from me

One hour away from as close to the moon as anybody down here is ever gonna be

And somewhere beyond that big white light is where my heart is gone

And somewhere she's wondering what's taking me so long

My hands are as good to me as they've ever been

And I ain't ashamed of anything my hands ever did

But sometimes the words I used were as hard as my fist

She had the strength of a man and the heart of a child I guess<br><br>Thanks to thudord
