Lyrics Interstate 85 - Pyrophoria

Went to church and the lord's people said go
Went home and she said come back tomorrow
Went to the liquor store; didn't have no money though
Asked her to marry me and she always said no
The mood wasn't right on account of indigo
I thought I might just drown I had sunken so low
Lord almighty said you reap what you sough

I sang the blues til I fell asleep
I pray my heart and soul will keep

I got lost somewhere on Decatur street
I don't play no brass but I lay down the beat
I hate the blackness of the night in the heat
I hate the drag of getting back on my feet
Who am I if my suffering is complete
A year went by like a sad song on repeat
Pain goes on so long it's obsolete

I sang the blues til I fell asleep
I pray my heart and soul will keep

Kicked the gravel walking Memorial Drive
What's a girl if she doesn't thrive
What's a girl burning down alive
I stand at the foot of Interstate 85
I could start over if I survive
I have a shot if I duck and dive
Although California is bit of a drive
