simon joyner - tekamah lyrics

[verse 1]
the allure of the gutter must have led me to his bed
he was drunk and vulgar and as brief as a dandelion head
i bet whoever said the meek will eventually be blessed
never had to turn the other cheek while their lover undressed

[chorus 1]
so, i’m going back to tekamah
straight as the crow flies
i’m heading home to tekamah
north on highway 75

[verse 2]
“life is too short” and other cruel cliches
like “all is forgiven” haunt thе walls of this suitcase
i guess it was naive to think a girl likе me could win
but did this city have to spit me out and chew me up again?

[chorus 2]
so, i’m going back to tekamah
to see my cottonwoods in the sunrise
i’m headed home to tekamah
north on highway 75

[bridge]
do you have a dream you’re ready to forfeit?
do you have a shred of dignity you haven’t tossed?
sometimes they take you for everything and you can afford it
sometimes they leave you with nothing and you’re lost
[verse 3]
some friends of mine still wish on eyelashes and falling stars
but right now i’d settle for my old shift back at ronnie’s bar
some are crying all the time and some have got it even worse
i just want a man to look me in the eye who doesn’t rifle through my purse

[chorus 3]
so, i’m going back to tekamah
i’ve already said my last goodbyes
i’m headed home to tekamah
north on highway 75

i’m going back to tekamah
straight as the crow flies
i’m heading home to tekamah
north on highway 75
