100 Dead End Towns
Longing in the Shadows: 100 Dead End Towns Unveiled
Lyrics
You've got a bad way about ya' and you
You possess a negative demeanor, and you
Ain't afraid to turn it on
Are not hesitant to display it
Got a bad way about ya' like an
Your negative demeanor resembles that of
Outlaw country song
An outlaw country song
Now it's been a million miles you could
Despite covering a vast distance, one could argue I'm absent
Say I'm gone
Implying a physical or emotional departure
You've got a bad way about ya' for which I
Your negative demeanor persists, and I
Long, long, long
Long for a resolution or change
Now I'd like to think I've moved on but you've
Though I believe I've moved on, you have
Got me dead to rights
Full control over me
I've been seeing your reflection
I see your presence reflected
When I check the rearview late at night
When I glance in the rearview, especially late at night
I can feel you in the shadows
Your influence is felt in the shadows
Hear your voice in ever song
Your voice resonates in every song
You've got a bad way about ya' for which I
Your negative demeanor persists, and I
Long, long, long
Long for resolution or change
I can't light a cigarette
I am unable to engage in familiar vices like
I can't even drink a beer
Smoking a cigarette or consuming a beer
Can't even see a sunrise without knowing you're not here
Even witnessing a sunrise is tainted by your absence
...You're not here
Emphasizing the void left by your departure
I've seen 100 dead end towns
I've encountered numerous unfulfilling places
Been to 100 no name bars
Visited obscure bars without significance
Seen a couple pretty girls
Experienced relationships with a few attractive women
Got a couple brand new scars
Acquired scars, physical or emotional
Of 100 ways to love you
Out of various ways to love you,
99 went wrong
Most attempts failed (99 out of 100)
You've got a bad way about ya' for which I
Your negative demeanor persists, and I
Long, long, long
Long for resolution or change
You've got a bad way about ya' for which I
Your negative demeanor persists, and I
Long, long, long
Long for resolution or change
