Текст песни:

She sends me blue valentines
All the way from Philadelphia
To mark the anniversary
Of someone that I used to be
And it feels just like theres
A warrant out for my arrest
Got me checkin in my rearview mirror
And I′m always on the run
Thats why I changed my name
And I didn′t think you′d ever find me here

To send me blue valentines
Like half forgotten dreams
Like a pebble in my shoe
As I walk these streets
And the ghost of your memory
Is the thistle in the kiss
And the burgler that can break a roses neck
It′s the tatooed broken promise
That I hide beneath my sleeve
And I see you every time I turn my back

She sends me blue valentines
Though I try to remain at large
They′re insisting that our love
Must have a eulogy
Why do I save all of this madness
In the nightstand drawer
There to haunt upon my shoulders
Baby I know
I′d be luckier to walk around everywhere I go
With a blind and broken heart
That sleeps beneath my lapel

She sends me my blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my handa
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To take this nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite
And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day
Remember that I promised I would
Write you...
These blue valentines
blue valentines
blue valentines

Текст песни:

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
never slept with a dream before he had to go away
there′s a bell in the tower
Uncle Ray bought a round
don′t worry about the army
in the cold cold ground
now don′t be a cry baby
when there′s wood in the shed
there′s a bird in the chimmney
and a stone in my bed
when the road′s washed out
they pass the bottle around
and wait in the arms
of the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
there′s a ribbon in the willow
and a tire swing rope
and a briar patch of berries
takin over the slope
the cat′ll sleep in the mailbox
and we′ll never go to town
til we bury every dream in
the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
blow the roof off the goat barn
let it roll down the hill
the piano is firewood
times square is a dream
I find we′ll lay down together in the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
cold cold ground
call the cops on the Breedloves
bring a bible and a rope
and a whole box of rebel
and a bar of soap
make a pile of trunk tires
and burn ′em all down
bring a dollar with you baby
in the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
take a weathervane rooster
throw rocks at his head
stop talking to the neighbors
til we all go dead
beware of my temper
and the dog that I′ve found
break all the windows in the
cold cold ground
cold cold ground

Текст песни:

Tonight I′ll shave the mountain
I′ll cut the hearts from pharoahs
I pull the road off of the rise
tear the memories from my eyes
and in the morning I′ll be gone
I drink 1000 shipwrecks
tonight I′ll steal your paychecks
I paint the sheets across my bed
the birds will all fly from my head
and in the morning I′ll be gone
take every dream that′s breathing
find every boot that′s leaving
shoot all the lights in the cafe
and in the morning I′ll be gone
I bet 1000 dollars
I have a french companion
I tie myself below the deck
I pull the rope around my neck
and in the morning I′ll be gone
it takes a life to win her
there is a drum of bourbon
800 pounds of nitro
his boots are thunder as he plays
theree is a stone inside it
tonight his bones will ride it
I′ll need a tent to hide it
and in the morning I′ll be gone
and in the morning I′ll be gone
and in the morning I′ll be gone
