Kasey Chambers - Don't Talk Back lyrics

Well, it's half my heart and a little bit of soul

That makes me feel I wanna ride this road

I wouldn't change it if I could

And me and this road, you know, we've got an understanding

It won't leave me at home and I am

Too tired to do just what I should

And last night I asked if I could

Take comfort in the rosewood

The road said nothing at all

Well cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car

It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down

And it all goes away on the other side of town

And nothing is that easy anymore

Well, the hurt won't leave with the sight of white line

But it eases up my pain for a while

The only habit that I keep

And miles take time but the time is mine

And always moving suits me fine

I'll catch my breath when I sleep

And after all that I've done

I'm not half what I'd hope that I'd become

There's still a long way to go

Well, 'cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car

It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down

And it all goes away on the other side of town

And nothing is that easy anymore

And last night I asked if I could

Take comfort in the rosewood

The road said nothing at all

Yeah, 'cos it don't talk back unless the wind blows hard

I drive it all night with the wheel of my car

It won't leave me running for the door

And if the paint's still wet I can just slow down

And it all goes away on the other side of town

And nothing is that easy anymore
