I used to see you
by JonBenet’s house
Looking around for fun
“Be still my heart”
tattooed on your neck
You’d hop the trains
Once all the birds left
Do you remember the first time?
In the back of your truck
Wishing you were mine
Said this towns
like a stain on white sheets
There's a curse
and we can't leave
But the trains
They come every week
Said I'll save you
save you a seat
Do you remember the first time?
In the back of your truck
Wishing you were mine
Do you remember the first time?
You said we could
Get a room just for us
Instead it was the back of your pickup truck
This doesn't feel like
The movies I would see
He’s running down my leg
He's running down my knee
Do you remember the first time?
In the back of your truck
Wishing you were all mine
Do you remember the first time?
Bleeding at the bookstore
just to pass the time
Do you remember the first time?

I saw your wife today
At the checkout line of the grocery store
Looking at your daughter
Wondering if she looked like her
“No I'm not the nanny”
Wondering if you could be the perfect daddy
Do you remember what you said
The night before I went to rehab
You said you’d marry me
You’d give me all I could have
Because nobody lives in Wyoming
nobody lives in Wyoming
I saw your mom today
Wearing the same uniform
she had back in the day
You wear your brother's tooth
around your neck
He always said “you better give them hell, you better give them heck”
Because nobody lives in Wyoming
nobody lives in Wyoming
Nobody lives in Wyoming
Don't call me angel in the morning
Nina broke the news to me
When I got back from rehab
She said you might have left
You might as well been dead
You tried to drive back to Texas
You were always young and reckless
He always said “you better give them hell, you better give them heck”
Because nobody lives in Wyoming
nobody lives in Wyoming
Nobody lives in Wyoming
Don't call me angel in the morning
nobody lives in Wyoming
Don't call me angel in the morning
nobody lives in Wyoming

“She doesn't love me”
He told me over the phone
I was sitting in a parking lot
Trying to hitchhike home
Something in her collapsed
Like an animal made of stone
I said she loves you
But not through and through
I said she loves you
But not the way I do
Your momma doesn't like you much
But I’ll love you the same
Your momma doesn't like you much
But you’re not the one to blame
You came home with a few tattoos
Cos there’s nothing better to do
Your brother got a scholarship
She said why can’t you be like him too
you sleep at the punk house
and fight the other guys
hoping the blood will make what’s in you die
I said she loves you
but not enough to protect you
I said she loves you
but not the way I do
Your momma doesn't like you much
But I’ll love you the same
Your momma doesn't like you much
But you’re not the one to blame
Cos love is what you give
And not what you get
She said you're never gonna find someone
you’re just another fool
Lost you on the way
From Colorado to LA
But one day I found you
Haunting what we left behind
Cos she loves you
But not the way I do
Your momma doesn't like you much
But I’ll love you the same
Your momma doesn't like you much
But you’re not the one to blame
Cos love is what you give
And not what you get

I heard Teddy died on his way to the bar
His lady riding shotgun
Yelling “you've gone too far”
The blacktop turned to night
No end in sight
Saw his mom crying by the car
Cursing god
Yelling “you've gone too far”
She said
“Take me home
Whenever you want to
Take me home
You know that I have to leave”
Lea was a nurse on the street
Driving to Montana
To beat the heat
He said “baby wait for me”
They found her in the park with no teeth
He’s cursing god
Yelling “wait for me”
He said
“Take me home
Whenever you want to
Take me home
You know that I have to leave
Take me home”
There was a shooting at the store
Nikki’s going home to the dorms
yells I can't take anymore
Singing over silence
She’s on the floor
Cursing god
Yelling “I can't take anymore”
“Take me home
Whenever you want to
Please say go
You know that I have to leave
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home”
