Jerome Lyrics

Coyote smiles, a wicked laugh

All of it just takes me back

To when you were still standing by my side

None of it seems clear to me

A lustful dream, not a memory

Just craving something real that could be mine

Said we'd pack it all away

And head out where the Indians lay

Live like outlaws on a mountainside

Then you'd breathe out your nicotine

The only drug I'd ever need

Is choking down on all those pretty lies

Did it work out how you thought it would?

Did the road treat you good?

Did you find home?

Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me

And you just can't bear to see me left alone

Do you still dream about Jerome?

I close my eyes, you're standing there

Twisted lips and auburn hair

And I go back again a million times

I was so wrapped up in revelry

That I could never see the leaving dancing just beyond the county lines

Did it work out how you thought it would?

Did the road treat you good?

Did you find home?

Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me

And you just can't bear to see me left alone

Do you still dream about Jerome?

I could offer you serenity

But you were born and raised to leave

I hope you make it back to me

Jerome
