Tourniquet

There's delays on the planes out of Eastern Montana

Where you told me you were leaving from

You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body

Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?

If you need a tourniquet or if you want to turn and quit

Know that I'll be by your side

Bled your whole soul into things you can't control

In a world you'll never satisfy

I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days, too

Take care of the blood that your love runs through

I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does

You were laughing last evening at something I dreamed of

When you finally feel the blood you spill into everybody else

I'll tourniquet your toes to the ground

Pull you in and hold you tight, love you through the heart of night

Spring your kind ass into town

You've been playing your guitar from arenas to the bars

Since you were old enough to rhyme a word

But your face is getting thinner and you're praying for the winter

And I heard you fucked it up with her

I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days, too

Take care of the blood that your love runs through

I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does

You were laughing last evening at something I dreamed of

I'll bandage up your body and your bones and your bad days, too

Take care of the blood that your love runs through

I know all the damage that some days in this dark world does

'Cause you were laughing last evening at something I dreamed of

There's delays on the planes out of Eastern Montana

Where you told me you were leaving from

You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body

Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
