the mountain goats - this year (the jordan lake sessions volume 3) lyrics

Loading...

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

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

[verse 3]
i played video games in a drunken haze
i was sevеnteen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machinеs
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue

[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 going to make it through this year if it k!lls me
i am going to 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
i downshifted as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out, stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly, as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year

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