Methadone Lyrics

Another rushed goodbye

Bags strewn on the curbside

You're tryin' hard not to cry

I'm tryin' not to go

I know that all you want

Is to stay up late and talk

It just ain't enough to call

When I'm so far from home

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

I know you wish I'd stick around

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

Find a Nashville girl and settle down

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

But ma, I gotta get back out

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

Before those cathedrals all burn down

I wish I could explain

Why a couple of months in one place

Is enough to give me the chills and the shakes

'Til they prescribe me methadone

Failing that, it's more goodbyes

More bags strewn on the curbside

More tryin' hard not to cry

While I break your heart and go

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

I know you wish I'd stick around

Get a house down the edge of town

Find a Nashville girl and settle down

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

But ma, I gotta get back out

Y'all ain't gettin' any younger

Before those cathedrals all burn down
