Cars in the Desert

Remember we were driving through the night Pretending we were lovers lost in sleep I think you said that "most of the time I'm right" Let go the wheel and maybe we'll switch sides Well, you were crawling out to raise the dead And the ghost of you never left Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good, good man I couldn't find the light myself It led to falling down the stairs And the stitches in my head And not a lesson learned back then Well, you were crawling into your own way All the wounded you left downtown I can taste your lips and not your name It stains the corner of every page Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good, good man They said they hid you somewhere I didn't know I dug everywhere, through the dust and the mud I turned it all over until my spade and hands were broken Remember we were lying in your bed I could feel your feet against my feet And the sweat that fled our skin Ice you rubbed into my chest And like a fire upon your sleeve You're gonna burn to put it out And maybe someday when I can't sing I'll go back to turning over ground Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good, good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good man Tell me I'm a good, good man
