jonathan terrell - houston blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well the wind beneath the wheels makes a whirring sound
like a hummingbird talking in my ear
it’s a secret, what i’m running from, i tell myself
too cliché to call it fear
the antelope are running ‘cross the desert plain
look to grace to fall just short of dust
coyotes are hunting them from atop the ridge
the smell of blood ignites their l-st
the smell of blood ignites their l-st

[chorus]
so run to you with much regret
and i’ll run with stones in my shoes
i’m throwing punches underwater and i’m running out of breath
i can’t shake these houston blues
i can’t shake these houston blues

[verse 2]
well, the buildings pierce the ruffles and the cold, ash sky
the city shivers with ice on its limbs
like wind chimes in a cave or chains on a slave
the sound alone can make a man give in
thirty minutes in the car, i take the farm road south
clear my head and take in some air
i hear the river’s tongue lapping at the ocean’s mouth
but it’s just too big to care
it probably never heard me run out there

[chorus]
so run to you with much regret
and i’ll run with stones in my shoes
i’m throwing punches underwater and i’m running out of breath
i can’t shake these houston blues
i can’t shake these houston blues

[breakdown]

[verse 3]
i thought the answers would be all down interstate 10
took me straight into lake charles, louisian’
but there’s evil stirring here, i can feel it brew
in the sweat in the palms of my hands
hightail it east, yeah, she reels me in
and i go back to her every time
like some ballad-beaten wife with no place to turn
i p-ss in to the county line
i swear to god it’s my last time

[chorus]
and i run to you with much regret
and i run with stones in my shoes
i’m throwing punches underwater and i’m running out of breath
i can’t shake these houston blues
i can’t shake these houston blues
