lyrics

I wish I'd learned to play guitar
better than I do now
I wish I'd learned to play guitar
better than I am right now

A dime a dozen keeps the doctor away
somehow I fucked up along the way
I have no words to explain to you
How I'll never make all your dreams come true

But I'm staring down that road
Trying to fill my mind with thoughts of Mexico
Country music speaks of sadness
and I know that tune
I just wish I didn't have to rely on old chord structures.

But I do.
Oh, but I do.

Someone's burned and someone's buried
Someone's born and someone else gets married
Someone screams a terrible fright
And another lost woman stays out all night

In the woods there's an opaque fog
Never thought it'd go on this long
woman kind is a front porch insect lamp
and I am the insect

Play a game of dominoes
prepare yourself to decompose
sing a silly love song that is so off key
just make sure that you really feel it
