Moon

Honey, I've been fine before
I'll be fine again
I promise you
I drank a lot before
I'll drink a lot again
I promise you

When you got back from New York last fall
You could barely hold a conversation with me
I had a long time lover in Dallas
And you couldn't stand her with me
I heard you're getting married
Congratulations

Do you remember when
We used to ride out far into the sky?
When the Moon was some low country dog born to die
You used to say, no one trusts a cowboy
Nothing hurts more than their silence
Loneliness rest easy on the mind
It's not hard if you, not hard if you try

All I want is a chicken in the yard
And your love for Jesus Christ
Back then you used to sing Aileen
You woke from the same dream
Loneliness won't reach us out here

Among the palm trees and the dying wind
I got to find something more
Than this languishing skin
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to me, it's alright
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Remember you were so young
Then I was so young too
Your body blossomed
To the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen
Matt's brother was in Iraq
And we went down to the legion hall
To get something to drink

Back then you used to say: " No one trusts a cowboy, honey
Nothing hurts more than their silence "
You'd say loneliness rests easy on the mind
It's not hard if you try
God only knows I've tried

I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry
Things didn't turn out the way we planned
Every once in a while, I still think of us in our sins

When you got back from New York last fall
You could barely hold a conversation with me
But do you remember when we used to ride out
Far into the sky?
When the Moon was some low country dog born to die

You used to say: " No one trusts a cowboy, honey
Nothing hurts more than their silence "
You'd say loneliness rest easy on the mind
Loneliness, it rests easy

Hawks in the belfry with heavy eyes
The Moon was some low country dog born to die
