slingshot miracle - on the line lyrics

Loading...

she never called him by his first name
for the eight months they ran on
she just said, “boy, come over”

when she called him up at all
but to him she was an angel
that had fallen from the clouds
it was his dumb luck that he looked straight up
as she nose-dived to the ground

a man who’s served learns patience
with time enough to k!ll
for weeks he’d wait like a coiled snake
for a word from her, or the rumor mill
‘cuz she could slip away like whiskey
on a full moon summer’s eve
come back around in a nearby town
half a deck tucked up her sleeve

he never saw the sun play on her hair
‘cuz the nights were all they had
but when she called he ran to her
and in the morning she’d be gone
doubled down on a hard luck hand

her voice miami black strap
lips tennessee mash
sweet nothing whispered sour
just wind blowing dust over her tracks

see, trouble’s just like kindness
on a coast swept worry clear
duty bound, when your guard is down
to give its head a defiant rear
he heard a snicker in the background
when they put her on the line
she said, “boy, come over”
like she was running out of time

“now it can’t be a gamble,
if i’m already broke
if i’m running out on my bar tab
what does it matter how much i owe?”
tearing through the tree-lined backroads
the radio claimed delia gone
he reminisced on her last kiss
as the pines blinked off and on

he never saw the sun play on her hair
‘cuz the nights were all they had
but when she called he ran to her
and in the morning it was done
doubled down and drawing dead
