the mountain goats - this year (jordan lake sessions volume 2) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i broke free on a sat+rday morning
i put the pedal to the floor
i headed north on mills avenue
and i listened to the engine roar

[verse 2]
my broken house behind me and good things ahead
a girl named cathy wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking
aha, listen to the engine whine

[chorus]
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me

[verse 3]
i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue, yeah, ha+ha

[verse 4]
and then cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle, all bitter and clean
locking eyes, holding hands
twin high maintenance machines
[chorus]
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me

[verse 5]
i drove home in the california dusk
i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
pictured the look on my stepfather’s face
ready for the bad things to come

[verse 6]
i downshifted as i turned into the driveway
the motor screaming out, it was stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
well, there will be feasting and dancing
in jerusalem next year

[chorus]
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me
i am gonna make it through this year
if it k!lls me, if it k!lls me, if it k!lls me
[outro]
ha
yeah
let’s do “spent gladiator 2” (alright)
