The Long Beds: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Burn a little sage in the ashtray
Watch the smoke rise and curl
A sweet little benediction
For all the lessons we never learn

Went backsliding last night, and it was good
But then the shadows came home to roost
You hurt me long before you knew me
And I did the same thing to you

chorus
So I'll pull on my boots in the morning
Take a bead on the old centerline
Can't undo the things I've done
But I can buy me a little more time
Yes, I live to ride one more day
It's the newfangled cowboy way

Well I never wrote a love letter
That I didn't mean
And I never wrote a love letter
That I could bear to go back and read

chorus

This buddy of mine, he's got it figured
Says he flies high above it all
But at night I can hear his bottles
Rattlin', down the hall

chorus
