Pink Spiders - Still Three Shy lyrics

rate me

The interstates and eighteen wheelers.

The sketches on the rest stop bathroom stalls.

I call her from a hotel pay phone so far from it all.

The odometer is hypnotizing.

The tires turn the dirt for miles and miles.

I wanna see the Nashville skyline,

Only for awhile.

'Cause I heard about the party last night.

I heard that there were drugs and fist fights.

When all I see are miles of streetlights,

That's when I miss home.

So I try, try, try to forget but I die inside every time I miss it,

'Cause you're still three shy.

Don't you forget it's not a party when we're gone,

And if the cops come by,

Have a drink and tell 'em this one's for the boys,

And I will try, try, try to forget that I'm gone.

A thousand miles until the ocean.

Casinos sit a couple miles ahead.

The city's in the rearview mirror.

Tennessee's in bed.

Now I'm drinking at the Blackjack table.

A cigarette is hanging from my lips.

My head is spinning round in circles as I take a sip,

'Cause I heard you split a cab ride last night.

I hope you found your way home alright,

'Cause underneath a sea of bright lights,

I feel alright here.

And I try, try, try to forget but I die inside every time I miss it,

'Cause you're still three shy.

Don't you forget it's not a party when we're gone,

And if the cops come by,

Have a drink and tell 'em this one's for the boys,

And I will try, try, try to forget that I'm gone.

And I try, try, try to forget but I die inside every time I miss it,

'Cause you're still three shy.

Don't you forget it's not a party when we're gone,

And if the cops come by,

Have a drink and tell 'em this one's for the boys,

And I will try, try, try to forget.

Yes, I will try, try, try to forget.

I'm gonna try, try, try to forget that I'm gone.
