about

Written and Performed live by Johnny Bourbon

lyrics

It only hurts
When it rains,
And I think on the days
That I wasted on chasing
A woman like you.

And there's nothing round home,
Helpin' me to forget,
So I packed up my suitcase
And I bought some new boots.

And I ran through the town,
Closing all the bars down
But I still woke in the morning
All blood shot & blue.

Suppose their ain't enough whiskey
To help drown your memory
So I'm setting my sights
On that old highway east.


And if I find nothing
For all of my rambling
'Cept stories for scars
Let it be.
Cause it'd serve me better,
Than chasing your ghost through these streets...

I'm too tired for living,
I'm too young for dying
And I'm sick to my bones
Of being played for a fool.

If I had a fortune,
I'd buy me a stallion
And ride like the wind
To the edge of the world.

And if I find nothing
Across the horizon
Then one day I might turn around...

But I'd never let a memory of you
Bring me back to this town.
