Samantha Crain - Elk City lyrics

Get me outta this town Get me outta this dream I've been drinkin away All my money See I was 17 When I came to this place In a boyfriend's Colt wagon on the 40 interstate He told me we'd be rich Get on at the GHK company That the Anadarko Basin's Where you wanted to be We pitched a tent in the park Its all we could do Weren't no rooms anywhere I hoped that job would come through He said just one more night Can you give me one more night? He got outta that town When the boom turned to bust Didn't say where he went Never told any of us I almost moved to Dallas With my best friend Kathleen But I met a guy at the Longhorn He said he could fix my washing machine How's tomorrow night? Yeah tomorrow night Well that night turned into 9 months Sitting on my a** Waiting for a baby My first and my last And she's all grown up now Got into college and everything So she beat her mama out of that town Out of Elk City I can only do one more night Just one more night I can only stand one more night Just one more night I can only stay one more night Just one more night Outside the Pale I bet you want a bargain, I hear you want to take cover Running like a yawn from one mouth to another You and I, we're blacktop rough, common as the dirt Sniveling into the phone, trying to help our sisters hurt Outside the pale Outside the pale Time is only loved at night, night is only loved at d**h The underdogs of human thought within the infrared You and I, we tell the stories the TV won't release They keep us in the wild under branch and thorn and tree Outside the pale Outside the pale Its such a blow to reach above, split loyalty and name The fence just isn't real but to this very modern day All you see is s** and property, when we run this damn machine Holding all the riches but it still feels like a dream Outside the pale Outside the pale
