Indigo Girls

Indigo Girls - Dirt And Dead Ends lyrics

You're looking at foreclosure

And doing time

And it don't sound good this time

And the wife that made your life Hell

All the time you were telling me

You were fine

Silly man

So I got your dog.

How is that?

I made it nice, I wrote a check.

You cut the weeds back on my drive

Cause you're a good guy

Deep down inside.

What makes a boy like you go bad,

What makes a man so lonely and sad,

That he'd poison all he knows

And in one year, just let it go?

And all that time you were telling me

You were fine

Silly man, silly boy

It's been you and me on this frontier

Trying not to be suburban pioneers.

Fighting off the pavers

And the associations

And the covenants against the trailers.

I remember how we used to laugh

At all those rotten men in "camo" drag

With their advantage and their guns

Up the deer stand shooting up a storm

And all the time

You were telling me all those lies

Silly man, I'm just a silly girl

There was a time

We could hibernate like bears

But we finally come up for air

And everything's all marked and cleared,

Survey flags flying everywhere.

Once you said to me

You know, what I'll miss the most

Is just being the only ones

With our dirt and our dead ends

And no one to turn us in.
