Bill Mallonee - (I Remember) All The Junkies And Exiles lyrics

Seems you were searching all of the time You stole a few glimpses when you crossed the center line Into the caverns of the veins of doubt You can crawl down in there ah but how do you get out To get out with no compa** to get out with no map Ah to get out with your skin intact You chiseled it on pages carved it in notebooks You did it on wine all those bennies that you took Just to stay at the wheel in case we all forgot Never missed an experience no not on your watch Maybe in frisco or mexico city From high desolations to a mother's chains of pity And if love was your anchor oh you needed more When you're drifting alone one thousand miles from shore Shook your fist at your readers of all of your books They saved all the wrong things and the wrong is what they took You saw it coming saw the sh** about to go down Sometimes you quit running just to get out of town
