[Verse 1] Hundred miles across the border Saint Maria Frisco Bay Big ol' stack of leather Bibles Blowin' down the interstate Where crimes are cheaper by the dozen And mothers scream out in the night What you plannin' on to do here Cotton candy Jesus Christ
[Verse 2] Oh United States of nowhere Some say that paradise is gone Troubles are brewin' ‘round here lately And where have you been all along Flyin' choppers through the desert Whiskey tango fox trot blues Bring ‘em home just for the weekend And we'll make something out of you
[Verse 3] Must've penned 1000 letters Two weeks worth of kerosene Dropped ‘em in the sheriffs mailbox And still they somehow weren't received They must've flown out on a dirt road Cuttin' hard around the bend Only you to chance to read them Well this is what they would've said
[Verse 4] Oh United States of nowhere I heard you cry the whole night through Left some money on the table Lost a hand a time or two And I don't know if it's the red wine Or 90-year-old Spanish rain But you best pull yourself together Or you might never be the same
[Verse 5] So when people get to talkin' About things they don't know Begrudge you nothing by it darlin We're all just here to see the show And they got drinks up at the counter Liquor line gin over ice Here bring this dollar to the man there Go on get you something nice
[Verse 6] Oh United States of nowhere It's getting time to get you home And I don't have to leave you lyin' out there all alone You don't have to much explain now Why you've been so awful bad That shit can wait until the mornin' You ain't got to be so sad Won't you come on out the cold dear And tell me all the dreams you hadTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
