Another John Moreland tune that hits like a punch to the gut, especially the last two verses: > So I'm trying not to think about home > And all that I miss > I swallowed my pride and I cried > Cause we didn't exist > You said it's now or never > Well I never stop feeling that way > We get turned around, our spirits break down > We just lie and say we're okay > > And the older I get, you know > Truth, it gets harder to find > And famous false prophets > Get by off of robbing good men blind > Maybe I don't have it in me > Maybe it doesn't have me in it > And if I don't fly, that's fine > Just let me find a place where I fit
