Indigo Girls - Dirt And Dead Ends lyrics

You're looking at foreclosure And doing time And it don't sound good this time And the wife that made your life Hell All the time you were telling me You were fine Silly man So I got your dog. How is that? I made it nice, I wrote a check. You cut the weeds back on my drive Cause you're a good guy Deep down inside. What makes a boy like you go bad, What makes a man so lonely and sad, That he'd poison all he knows And in one year, just let it go? And all that time you were telling me You were fine Silly man, silly boy It's been you and me on this frontier Trying not to be suburban pioneers. Fighting off the pavers And the a**ociations And the covenants against the trailers. I remember how we used to laugh At all those rotten men in "camo" drag With their advantage and their guns Up the deer stand shooting up a storm And all the time You were telling me all those lies Silly man, I'm just a silly girl There was a time We could hibernate like bears But we finally come up for air And everything's all marked and cleared, Survey flags flying everywhere. Once you said to me You know, what I'll miss the most Is just being the only ones With our dirt and our dead ends And no one to turn us in.
