The Mountain Goats - Catherine Antrim's Kid lyrics

Brush all the dust of Kansas Off of my special shoes When the coach lets us out at the corner store Mom was coughing like an old man, shivering like a cold man And i found some trouble to get into And the admiration was mutual Split my winnings with mom 55/45 But it didn't keep her alive I got lost out there in new mexico Nothing to lose nowhere to go I got lost when my lucky stars crossed That night I dreamt about Ft. Stanton Though I didn't know to call it that yet And the night wrapped me up in its long dark embrace I had that same expression on as that one picture of my face Which was all anyone would ever know about me After my visitors got done with me I lay down singing on the porch blood streaming from my mouth Sounded kind of like Paul Westerberg but to tell you the truth I got lost out there in new mexico Nothing to lose nowhere to go I got lost when my lucky stars crossed
